Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 4644663, member: 694"] There's a reason that Benedict sent an email out looking to pump up NIL money. The arms race is on... if UConn remains contented to be paid at the AAC level (which even the optimistic 8-10/year Big East projections are at) they will struggle to remain competitive across the breadth of sports which they currently are competitive with. It's not a football vs. basketball thing... you're seeing it now LSU funded their women's basketball national title with NIL; the SEC schools are using their financial to become more competitive in men's basketball despite being "football" schools. The Big East move has been good for UConn [U]right now[/U].. but it has to be a stop-over, not a final destination; I think that was recognized by all parties, which is why UConn's exit fees decrease as they put in their time to help the Big East; with the recognition that the Big East affiliation should help UConn initially regain their footing.
