Fox and the Big East signed a 12-year $500 million agreement in 2013, with the potential to see that number jump to $600 million if the league were to expand from ten schools to 12. So I'm guessing going to 11 will not split the $.
Plus UConn has a huge following in the East and should pack arenas and the MSG, help us with Inter-conference games and extensions of the MSG and Fox contracts. Great deal for X and the conference.Last edited by bobbiemcgee; 06-22-2019 at 09:32 PM.

The only negative for Xavier is that Hurley is going to recruit like a beast now that he's got the Big East to sell. We may move from #2 to #3 in the Big East pecking order for now. I'm okay with that for a short time. Then we'll move to #1, and that will mean we're one of the best teams in the country.

Hopefully it'll will be a positive for our recruiting. i would think uconn back in the conference would solidify the big east in a lot of recruit's eyes as truly the big time. if we continue to have success maybe it pushes us over the edge into the world of a few 5 star recruits down the line

Who knew women's basketball 3rd tier rights could be the tipping point? Always thought Geno is pompous arse, but I'm becoming a big fan.

And right on cue...ESPN reprises its "Requiem for the Big East": https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/index.
