Uconn to Big East?
Anyone else tracking this? I find it funny that uconn can't even pull their weight in the aac and believes the big east would be a better conference for them. Typical, blaming their failures on a conference... If uconn, Memphis, and temple could be more than a shadow of their former selves this conference would be pretty good for basketball with us, smu, and Houston.
Anyway, if they were to leave who would we want to replace them? Vcu? Wichita st? |

Honestly though, it would devastating if they left.
As a guy who only cares about basketball, I'd rather Join the big east with them and stay AAC for basketball only if we had the chance |

I had to go track this down, it seems like it's nothing Uconn is confirming. More or less just gossip, what conference would want Uconn? And not UC or Memphis or Houston, from various sports vision. Uconn does not make the AAC, UC and SMU have more say then them. The AAC does need to look towards expansion to keep these great basketball schools around. 12 team basketball conference.
VCU Wichita St. |

I agree, tough to replace. However, I think they believe somehow that the big east is a huge step up that will turn their program around from the decline they are on. That's not the case... If these schools would do what they have historically done the top half of the aac could rival the top half of the big east.

Why would the AAC let UConn stay for football only? Will they have to go Independent?

I'm sure the aac wouldn't let then stay for football only... They are awful at football and they would be screwing the conference by taking basketball. |
