[QUOTE="Gary's Shirtless Revenge, post: 3286633, member: 72515"] Something for everybody to consider… BY doesn’t visit UCONN for even an “exploratory visit” if he isn’t invited, and if there isn’t some interest. Also, some things to keep in mind: - UCONN is wrapping up a pricy exit from the AAC over the next few years, and is running an athletics deficit. - FOX is their media rights holder and now has almost all of the BIG basketball inventory and a meaningful chunk of Big 12 ball too. The Big East just started negotiations with FOX on a new deal that would start with the 2025-2026 season. - Given those two chunks of basketball rights now owned through the end of the decade, how much more inventory does FOX want? Given they don’t have a streaming platform to toss inventory onto, they do have some limitations to what they can do given their other programming schedules. Do they really want to go spend a bunch of money for Big East basketball to only then turn around and license a big chunk of it out to somebody else? Do they have that spending appetite too, or are the BIG and B12 enough? I’d imagine all of these things are on the minds of UCONN admins, and if they could move Men’s and Women’s Basketball to the B12 for something like $5-8 million annually, might they do that? UCONN vs. Kansas in Paris would be interesting! [/QUOTE]
