Sources: Big East commish resigns
"A source said Marinatto's exit has been building for weeks. The source said the basketball members in the Big East were upset that they had no say in the expansion process."
"Marinatto also wanted to accept a TV deal a year ago but was shot down by a 12-4 vote with Georgetown leading the charge not to accept."
"In addition, Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich was a close confident of Marinatto and his pending departure had pushed the Cardinals to further consider the Big 12 if they can get an invitation from the current 10-team league, a source said."
