The AAC averages $1.8m per team from TV, but UConn gets $1-2m for SNY money, and there's also the football money. The G5 split $82 million. But not equally. The AAC gets the lion's share of the $16m performance pool that is also distributed according to conference strength. UCF then gets $1.5m off the top. Each conference gets $13.2m. Then for the performance pool each conference gets roughly $3.2m, but for the top conference they get closer to $5m. The AAC this year gets $18.2m, $1.5m to UCF, and then rest is split among the football schools. So $1.4m to UConn. Add it all up: $1.8m, $1m SNY, $1.4m football, and UConn gets $4.2m, which is higher than the BE's $3.8m, not to mention the exit fees UConn would incur by leaving for the BE. [/QUOTE]
