He's not the one convincing himself that FBS independence is a viable path forward. FBS Independence for UConn is going to resemble the trajectory of an aircraft that loses a wing - rapidly descending, chaotic, and terminating in a crater. This deal makes perfect sense to me, given only that UConn is preparing to euthanize its football program. There are really only two viable destinations for UConn football - FCS and oblivion. The former seems pointless which makes the inevitable outcome obvious.

He knows the AAV/school is going down. Antagonizing ESPN only reduces the initial offer.

What are the SWAGs on the reduction? My guess is at least $1/2Mil per school per year. UConn Women's basketball was a valuable paywall commodity.

Easy to crop...


Love how Edsall is the only one wearing sunglasses (More likely they are Transitions and can't see without them.).

Don't love how he looks like he needs to take a leak so bad, he may pee in the harbor.

Best case scenario for UConn is to play football in conference through the 2020-21 season with a reduced pay out, with every other sport moving to the Big East. This would alleviate everyone's scheduling concerns.

Keep payout but no bowl game affiliation or bowl payout for UConn.

Solves a scheduling need without passing over any other conference team.

This is a great solution It would also eliminate the need for UConn to invest in production infrastructure, which begins for all sports but football in 2020. It would also eliminate a lot of travel costs for BB and Olympic sports. Let us leave early for the rest and well let you immediately take the $5M you withheld. AAC gets time value on the $5M (or distributes it, doesn't matter to me.) We pay the final $2.5M on exit.
