Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 5010234, member: 694"] Here’s the most relevant quote in my opinion: The Big East is a collection of smaller schools who are limited draws unless they’re winning plus UConn. The Huskies draw nearly twice the eyeballs of rest of the league. That’s the challenge for the TV deal. UConn is the clear team with value, it’s also clearly the team that doesn’t fit and would most like to leave the conference leaving the league with that collection of (quoting our friends from Marquette): 10 relatively small private schools. How do you price in that risk… knowing you’re already paying more than any other non power conference for basketball and as much as several G5 conferences get on average for both football and basketball. (The AAC with the half shares for new members gets about 5.5M per school, the MWC gets about 4M per school, the Big East about 4.6M (depending on the source)) [/QUOTE]
