Message: [QUOTE="Storrs South, post: 4539323, member: 7275"] Yes the buyout from the Big East before 2026 is $30 million dropping to $15 million thereafter. I don't think UConn is leaving the Big East to go from $4 million to $10 million in TV money annually which is probably what a Basketball only offering in the Big 12 would be at best. It's a slightly different calculus for Gonzaga since they currently have all the leverage in that league as they get an unequal balance of WCC tourney credits ($1.2 mill annually) but a tiny tv contract and a much weaker basketball league compared to the Big East. The buy out is likely also miniscule because of the leverage they've exploited v. the WCC. [/QUOTE]
