Message: [QUOTE="UConn Dan, post: 2954864, member: 2362"] First of all, your $441million number is pure speculation. Second, you're comparing different terms. The Fox-Big East Deal was for 12 years, and the current ESPN-AAC deal was for 6-7 years (depending on the sport). I say this with peace and love, where are all these AAC teams going? No matter how bad our football is, they don't move the needle more than UConn. UConn needs to worry about UConn, and winning, and supporting it's programs. If/when the split of major college athletics happens, the Big East is not going to be in the haves, they will be the have-nots. So those mourning or souring on the "UConn football dream", you'll also be mourning the loss of playing major college basketball. We'll see where this all shakes out in 10 years, but the Big East is not currently our solution. [/QUOTE]
