Message: [QUOTE="Zissou, post: 2189026, member: 7920"] I agree your football must stay FBS. If UConn decides to wait and see with the AAC, and the next TV deal is still less than $5M per team, do you then continue to stick it out in the #6 football and #7 hoops conference? I think the current TV deal way under values the AAC. Aresco is a very competent guy, however, and that was the best that he could do. Without a top 25 football team and a much tougher environment for ESPN, is ESPN going to pay more for the AAC? Is ESPN going to multiply their costs on the AAC when they are cutting costs elsewhere? Is the scattered footprint of the AAC, with the lack of rivalries, compelling to Fox? Is the cable alternative developed well enough to be a replacement path for the AAC, where it is only supplementing massive TV deals for the P5? FBS is here to stay for UConn. Currently you would do better with TV revenue from the Big East, and better prospects with the AAC are uncertain. [/QUOTE]
