Easy there hoss.  First let me say that given your position as head of FCUCFAC (Fairfield County University of Connecticut Fan Advocacy Committee) I was surprised by your reaction to this.  I think it is the right one, however.  We are where we are and we need to accept the reality of it.

That said, how are the two deals similar?  It's not hard Biz.  We gave up a 10 game deal with a marquee program because we ("we" being the CT legislature in this instance) didn't want to play our home games out of the Rent.  Now we are playing a home game out of the Rent for lowly Boston College?  In Boston?  When they have a hard enough time filling their stadium?

As to your "the exact financial repercussions of the never-happened ND deal versus the BC deal" statement, that's just silly.  The better question is what exactly does UConn get for giving up a home game?  I suppose we will hear what that is soon enough.

I'm happy with AD Dave, so far but this is a head scratcher.

[A somewhat related point, I've wondered if having a 10 game deal with ND in place at the time of last ACC expansion would have been enough to make us a more attractive target than Louisville.]
