Here's my take on the deal:  there have been multiple conversations between UConn and the Big 12.  UConn isn't talking so that means things are moving along. The Big 12 isn't really talking so that means there are things going on.  In CR, a school has already said yes before the public offer.

The Big East won't raise the exit fee to affect UConn because we signed onto an agreement that was tilted toward the Big East if this occurred.  The Big East and UConn made the exit fee bigger in case this occurred so consider the buy out with a premium if the stars aligned properly.

There will be no anger from the conference since we are a public land grand and the rest of the conference are small Catholic institutions.  They know football drives the bus.  UConn won't burn the bridge with the rest of the Big East and sports not sponsored by the Big 12 will remain in the Big East.  Presidents look at things differently than Athletic Directors and coaches.

If UConn gets the invite, then we have to take it.  I don't believe for half a second the Big 12 will say anything about the Rent.  The infrastructure was built (heck, we are now drilling down to Women's volleyball facilities) so guess what, the infrastructure is already there.
