I cannot believe that many in this thread think it's somehow better that most of the $17m will come from AAC FB and BB payouts.

It's WORSE! That money was going to be paid to us. It was an account receivable. We just turned a huge account receivable into an automatic deficit. Where's the money going to come from to offset that huge loss? Yes a little will get saved from a $2m difference in travel (3 bus trips from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours long - enjoy those kids!), but unless we start getting a ton of revenue from the SNY deal, and I'm talking 8-9m per year (won't happen) plus large numbers of payday FB games) (may happen), we're not going to EVER replace that money completely, and that money is going to improve most years, making for a widening gap. Writing a check from the UConn bank account is better than giving away money you're already entitled to.

You know what the only real solution is? Kill football. I'm afraid that's what the pinheads in the UConn administration are leaning toward.
