Maybe they "feel that way" but they'd be wrong. They are getting "pennies on the dollar" compared to P* schools, particularly P2 schools. By the way, I think you're wrong, I think Big East schools are acutely aware that they are being left behind financially by the P* schools, but even if that isn't the case, is that what you want the University of Connecticut to aspire to? To run athletic programs like a small private university? Who do we feel is our peer? Seton Hall or Rutgers, to use 2 New Jersey examples.
