Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4655822, member: 11664"] According to the UConn Blog, the Big 12 payout won't be $30-$35 million per year due to its relatively large expansion. Rather the payout will only be "upwards of $20 million per year." Personally I think that the Big 12 expansion sacrifices quality in order to chase quantity. Since UConn is considered to be such an asset to the Big 12, perhaps the ACC will also realize that & make a similar expansion offer. UConn should wait for the dust to settle in the ACC since there will be such a hefty penalty to withdraw from the Big East anyway, and the Big 12 payout won't solve all of the financial problems before its next TV contract will be negotiated. With a lowered payout & geographical considerations, UConn could be better off working with the ACC schools. Then UConn could either make or break the ACC or the next incarnation of the ACC.
