Most notably, the seven schools that did not sponsor football in Division I FBS announced in December 2012 that they would leave as a group, which led to a formal split of the conference effective in July 2013. In the end, the \"Big East\" name, history, and contract to the Big East Tournament location rights at Madison Square Garden were exchanged for almost the entire balance of over $110 million left in the NCAA National Tournament prize pool accumulated by the Big East in prior years. The FBS schools retained the charter of the original 1979\u20132012 Big East Conference, starting the 2013 academic year under the new name of American Athletic Conference."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
