CBS tv contract will apparently be addressed for Navy.

schedule challenges with Notre Dame, Army and Air Force will be addressed.

No $10 million buy out addressed but by Navy joining any other team leaving will have to pay the $10 million buy out.

These were the things keeping Navy out of the Big East. The Big East has found a way to let Navy keep the nonnegotiables.

It appears that Navy will join the Big East in 2015 for football only.

“...We’re breaking away from a lifelong commitment as an independent and we have a better television deal than a lot of conferences,” Gladchuk told CBSSports.com last month. “We can’t do that without a mutual understanding with the Big East. The good news is [Big East commissioner] John [Marinatto] has been receptive of talking this though.”..."
