RE: Financial breakdown of UConn's move to the Big East
UConn football was not competitive in the AAC and had no conference rivals. They had to invent rivalry games like the COnFLict to try to make the AAC schedule relevant to its fan base and recruits.

Now, they will have potential real rivalries with UMass, Liberty, and Army, in which they actually might be competitive. Plus, a good helping of future games with mediocre Big Ten and ACC opponents and nearby Boston College. It's better to be 6-6 against a mediocre independent schedule than 2-10 in the AAC.

It's a home run if the Big East helps UConn basketball get back in the spotlight.
