Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2581228, member: 1526"] This is a fallacy. The difference between our overall AD revenue now compared with being in the NBE is negligible. We get our bowl revenue share from the AAC, whatever we make from our Tier 3 rights, and deals like Benedict made last year for a 1.2 million dollar payday to give up a home game to play BS College at Fenway. Also, take a look at the NBE TV ratings on FOX...abysmal. They're in for a rude awakening in their next round of media rights negotiations. Plus we have better TV coverage on ESPN/CBSSN. All our games are televised. We go to the NBE and become independent or drop football, we lose all the football revenue producing streams. Nobody will want to play us, no bowl tie-ins, nothing. The NBE commissioner Val Ackerman also seems inclined to want to dictate to us what happens with our football program as a prerequisite for an invite. [/QUOTE]
