EDIT 1.

Quote:Following the Execution Date, the University shall immediately take steps and all other actions to facilitate withdrawal from the AAC in accordance with the
governing documents of all varsity sports sponsored by the Conference on terms acceptable to the University as soon as practical, but in no event later than June 30, 2022 (the Withdrawal) and
(ii) comply in all respects with any of the University's other agreements or enforceable obligations that relate to such Withdrawal. It is understood that if the University has not joined the Conference and begun participation as a full member by July 1, 2022, this Agreement shall be terminable by
the Conference under Section 11(a)(ii).

So UConn might be joining in 2020-21, or 2021-22, or 2022-23. So I can stop feverishly filling notebooks with plans for indy schedules for 2020.

Once both parties have agreed to a split, no matter how amicable, they proceed with all due speed to execute it as quickly as possible. Neither UConn nor the AAC wants to deal with multiple lame-duck seasons. I'd be shocked — shocked, I tell you! — if UConn isn't a full Big East member on July 1, 2020.

The 27 month portion of the exit fee is negotiable. Dont be surprised if the exit fee rises to something like 15-16 million or so---but with the stipulation that UConn football can stay in the AAC through the end of the 2020-2021 season. Baskketball would go to the Big East for the 2020-2021 season. Football gets a longer runway for building up to indy play and basketball gets to the Big East ASAP. Everything is negotiable.
