Message: [QUOTE="Ldandy, post: 4343004, member: 4584"] I like your passion, but I'm not sure what you are implying here. Uconn would count for Connecticut Cable Households. That's it. They would also get some consideration for streaming revenue as there is surely an online market for Men's and Women's Basketball as well as some Olympic Sports. They are not getting credit for PA or NJ Cable Households. That's ludicrous. The issue that Uconn, Kansas, and potentially every school not named Notre Dame will face is that they cannot be dilutive to the overall conference payout. Even if Uconn was worth 50 Mil, they would still probably be 70 million away from being considered as a viable add. Lack of AAU Membership is viewed as a negative as well. The best hope for Uconn is to show a pulse in football over the next 3-5 years and wait for ESPN to move product from The ACC into the SEC. The leftover schools like Pitt, Cuse, WF, BC Louisville, and a few others who are not going to The B1G or SEC may want to form a new conference as opposed to joining The Big 12. Maybe a new old Big East could be resurrected. A league with some solid properties could probably draw 20+ Per which beats the hell out of the 5.5 you are currently making. [/QUOTE]
