Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3191086, member: 2524"] I wanted to protect the football program but we were in an abusive relationship where the American Conference and ESPN were exploiting UConn and giving nothing in return. You have to leave and find partners who respect you and treat you fairly. If the American Conference and ESPN come to their senses, they'll take the $10 million exit fee and invite UConn as a football only or football+baseball only on terms similar to Navy. UConn is worth it with a good size market and potential to improve the football program. But we probably have to exit and pay the $10 million before they'll make the offer. This is a case where the governor should intercede with ESPN to protect UConn football. If ESPN and the American don't go to bat, hopefully there is an arrangement with Fox and the B12 to get a few games at least. [/QUOTE]
