$3M per school on Fox Sports cable

Not sure where to put this. What are the buyouts that any of the teams from the A10, MVC, or WCC would have to pay to join a new league?

I don't know if it's changed since they announced they were leaving for the Big East, but I'm pretty sure Temple's exit fee is $1M to leave the A10.

The MVC does not have a buyout.

There was a great article recently about ESPN feeling pressure from CBS and NBC sports. I don't think the mother ship will have the control in the future like they've had in the past. A combination of games on channels not named ESPN could be just fine and similar to what the Big east had when they went with ESPN.

I see this going to NBC-Comcast for something like $2 million per program, still a homerun.

If Mr. Murdoch and FoxSports are willing to offer $3M per team, it seems highly unlikely that the Presidents of the C7 schools will walk away from that level of income. It is widely known amongst the TV networks that $3 Mill is excessive. No other network will attempt to match that offer.
Fox has the outlets mentioned above as well as its farflung FoxSports regional networks. Cobbling those into a cohesive unit is not that big of a task, given they already share and support one another for airing content. The C7 will take the money and run.
