One way to think about it is there is only one other independent football team with basketball/Olympic sports in a power conference, Norte Dame. I for one would watch Husky football just because they are now the only BE FBS football team.

More importantly, TV partner Fox Sports certainly pushed for this. Word is the addition of UConn can trigger a clause in the Big East's deal with Fox and re-open talks on a contract that has six years to run. This will mean a bump from the current $4 million or so per school TV payout; perhaps an additional $2 million per school.
