The butthurt will be stronger in five days when Temple puts a whooping on y’all.

Um, I support UConn’s move and always have. I’m saying there is still a lot of butthurt AAC fans out there.
...and no, that will not happen.

Wouldn't be discussing this butthurt if UConn had originally left with the C7 teams. If they had the AAC would have kept their FB no questions asked as a FB only to match the incoming Navy FB only entrance into the league. It would have given the AAC the 12 teams they needed for the Championship Game the conference wanted in place to match the other P5 and G5 conferences.

Without esayems support, I don't think the University of Connecticut and it's students, athletes, faculty, staff, administration, and fans would have been able to make this move.

Aw shucks, thanks for the recognition.
You did notice UNC helped fill out their schedule

UConn and Buffalo are supposedly discussing a four-game series, but nothing's official yet.

I don't think the C7 would have gone for that though. I think they were done with the will they/wont they leave drama of FB schools. Now they know UConn isn't leaving for a P5 conference so UConn today is a much safer bet for the Big East than when the initial split occurred.

This would be a nice northeastern series. Buffalo is booked until 2024 though. Starting in 2024 they could play both UMass and UConn—1 home and 1 away. That leaves them room for 1 pay day game and then a slot that they can use for either an FCS school or a series with another foe

Who knows maybe ODU moves it's home game with Buffalo in 2021 or 2023 a few years later to host UConn instead. We often see Independents find a game where both schools are willing to split their game (e.g., SJSU and Army in 2020 to play UConn) and play it in a futuer year instead. Frankly I expect to see something like that to start the series a few years earlier.

If the rumors are true it's 24, 25, 28, and 29.

I'd keep an eye on how many ACC teams UConn eventually schedules for football once they get a few years out in their future schedules before cancelling UConn's behind the scene aspirations.
There's no question that UConn would leave for the ACC, Big Ten or any other P5 conference in a heartbeat. The Big East knows that for sure.
However, I do think what has changed is UConn's place in the perceived conference realignment pecking order. When conference realignment movement was at its peak in the early-2010s, there was a perception that UConn was "next in line" for a P5 spot. That seemed to change drastically over the past few years, partially because the Big 12 seemed to be the only P5 league even considering further expansion and UConn wouldn't be the same type of fit as it would theoretically be in the ACC or Big Ten.
As a result, the Big East knows that UConn is always going to be a flight risk on paper, but it's not the same *immediate* flight risk that it was when the Catholic 7 originally spit off to form the new Big East. At the same time, the Big East has established enough credibility and stability both on-the-court and branding-wise that it can take on that risk and be perfectly fine even if UConn ultimately leaves (as the Big East is perfectly fine in its current 10-team state without UConn). No one is going to "blame" the Big East as being unstable if UConn ends up getting a P5 invite going forward - everyone knows that could happen and are at peace with it as of now. That's a whole lot different than 7 years ago when the new league was formed and there was still an air of total instability around all of the remnants of the old Big East conference. No one was trusting each other at that time... and for good reason.

What is UConn's TV arrangement for home football games this fall? SNY? FS1? CBSSN? How much money?

Not announced yet, SNY said they'd bid on the package when it comes available. My guess is still that Fox buys the games for a relatively nominal amount, keeps one or two a year, and bundles the rest with like half the women's schedule and one or two leftover men's games to SNY for what they paid for football to begin with.

That is what I’d bet ends up happening too. Fox will own pretty much all UConn content but will sell a portion to SNY.
