Much of this is just flat out incorrect

--the UConn travel cost saving is unknown. Football is the biggest part of travel costs and they dont even know three quarters of their schedule. A third of every season is OOC--thats not changing. MOre than half of the football schedule were all east coast teams--so distances for half the conference football schedule isnt really changing either. The really long football trips to Texas and NOLA? Well, because of divisional travel, UConn only made one (at most 2) football trips to the "west" per year (and one of those "west" trips is actually Navy). Also, we need to stipulate that not like every Big East team is in their backyard. The reality, without even knowing who's on the football schedule--there could be little savings or a lot---who knows?

---2 million in productions costs---already debunked. Closer to $200-300K tops.

---Behind a pay wall---finally something thats true. By the way, FS1 is behind a pay way. Stop paying your cable bill and see how many FS1 games you get to watch.

---No 3rd tier right----Just like the Big East. I invite this moron to go look at the last 2 pages of the Big East contract they just signed. It clearly states that the Big East gets the rights to ALL VARSITY and CLUB level events. ALL means EVERY SINGLE GAME. The only rights UConn retained per the contract is radio rights---and even then---its only local radio rights. The Big East gets the national radio rights.
