Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5162489, member: 833"] First of all, there was no phase-in for football membership. There was a one way option by the Big 12 to consider taking UConn football in 2032, which would likely mean a phase in starting at that point. A deal like that would require tens of millions of state dollars to fund, without any surety that UConn would even be invited in 2032. And UConn would take all of the risk of a P2 split without any of the revenue benefit. Is it really that difficult to figure out why that option was not appealing to a lot of people at the state house? It is also completely reasonable for people to think that the Big East haters want a return to the AAC because many of those Big East haters are deceptive about their own positions and what UConn's options really are.
