It appears UCONN has 7 home games, seems like UCONN needed Liberty more than Liberty needed them. The most important thing is for Liberty is to get two more bowl elgible seasons before next round of bowl tie-ins. That would allow Liberty to get Primary tie-ins like BYU an Army

UConn did need Liberty more than Liberty needed UConn but if both are going to be working together for the foreseeable future, it is best not to rake the other over the coals. You mention Liberty needing to get bowl eligible as many times as possible but I think they made it easier by replacing Virginia with UConn. Look at that 2023 schedule now that UVA was moved: https://fbschedules.com/ncaa/liberty/ It's hard to tell who will be good in four seasons but it looks pretty winnable even by adding a pretty solid, up and coming P5 school.

So if Liberty tried to take UConn to the woodshed, maybe UConn doesn't add any future games with Liberty after these initial two are over. Or maybe they influence UMass to avoid playing Liberty and LU loses another late season matchup. Athletic directors/departments are such a small club that essentially everyone knows everyone.
