Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3192029, member: 1414"] I’ve been thinking about this. My feelings are mixed. Ultimately I think we had to break the cycle. The AAC contract made no consideration at all for what UConn valued. None. It forced our hand. So what does this move do? It sends a message about our brand. Even if football is Independent, we control it. If we can land an SNY TV deal, that’s a message again. The Big East will reduce travel costs across Olympic sports, and with UConn in the fold, may return 6 teams in the NCAA earning credits. I’m still looking for details on T3 rights for the Big East. It’s all streamed, but does that foreclose us selling SNY women’s hoop? If so, package that with football. The future is about streaming and schools potentially returning to selling their own content, or keeping more of it. Branding is king. This will help our brand. [/QUOTE]
