Looks to me that the strong football schools in the ACC decided that there isn't enough money flowing to keep them competitive with their perceived peers in the the BIG and the SEC.  Thus, a special payout scheme had to be concocted.  This institutionalized inequality will eventually be the end of the ACC.  It may work short term, but the BIG and the SEC are going to keep financially separating themselves from the others in the so-called "P conferences", including the ACC,

Regarding UConn, our ticket out of the BE doldrums will be the "monetization" of March Madness by the marquee BB brands. Then we become attractive to any of the "P conferences".  Expect a fight from the NCAA because MM is the only way that organization stays afloat.  BB doesn't move the needle very much now because the NCAA gloms the lion's share of MM revenue.  I'd bet the SEC and the BIG already are salivating about taking over MM.  The other lesser "P conferences" should take notice of this and add UConn to help get seats at the table.  Otherwise, the P-2 will end up in the financial "catbird seat" and the rest of the "P conferences" and any other marquee BB brands will enter a nuclear winter.
