there's no contract that I've ever heard of

The 3-game "commitment" sources back to this article in 2005.

Since then, the Big East scheduling has gone in fits (Rutgers falling out) and starts (U. Conn with an actual 10-year deal). There have also been articles talking about conversations with West Virginia and USF, although nothing solid has transpired.

At this point, with Dr. White no longer around, and with no hard and fast contracts in sight, I believe the 3-BE thing falls into the "nice to have" category, but I haven't heard Swarbrick even mention it.
