UConn is going to get the BE $4m for its other sports, and still can sell its football on top of that. Plus they get to keep their lucrative T3 rights.

That will surely be more than the all-included $7m they would get from the AAC.

As someone else pointed out on another thread, the Big East and AAC deals are a lot closer than they appear at first. Both deals are 12 years and, critically, are back end loaded. This means that the average payout usually quoted overstates the early year payouts and understates the later year payouts. 2020-21 will be year 8 of the Big East contract while it will be year 1 of the AAC's new deal.

As you point out, UConn can also generate more money from separate deals for football and women's basketball that were not available under the AAC deal.
