If they think leaving the American and going to The Big East will somehow all of a sudden make them great again then they are more disillusioned than any fanbase in all of college basketball.

I would love for Memphis to do well again, which I think they will, but at this point UCONN is close to insufferable. When UC and UCONN went to the American they could have both stayed on track. Hopefully everyone in the league keeps getting better, and maybe UCONN will too. Then when the Big 12 expands/breaks up we'll see where the pieces fall.
Regarding your first paragraph, how does that not come down to coaching? He has been terrible since Napier graduated. His teams with the players he recruited have been mediocre at best.
