There is a lot of soft analysis that will go into the decision here from ESPN and the fellow AAC University Presidents. In the end, just like we dont know the exact math behind the $1B media deal, we wont know the exact math (same hard, some soft) used to decide our AAC exit.
For myself, I dont know if I want to stay or go. I think I can make myself happy with either.
My issue today is that nobody should be scoffing at the notion that UConn just might pull off the Navy deal and stay as a football only member with a partial split of the media $$. Its certainly possible despite any of the public posturing we read. Again, the reason is because its so simple to keep us and actually more cumbersome to jettison us.
I think we win either way, as a football only member or as an independent. I'm ready for either....but dont want the former if the partial $$ deal isn't reasonably on par with what we could do as an independent.
