Who are they going to play in football? Is this for all sports but football, like reverse Notre Dame?

If this is true, I would not let them stay in the AAC for football. Throw them out!!

They add nothing in football... basketball was their only strong point and that’s even been shit lately. Probably best for them to drop football and go back to playing in the BE

Yep, all their sports are struggling except women’s b-ball and geno won’t be there forever. Their university is also in debt. This is them going all in to try to stay relevant. They are pretty much punting on their football program by doing this. Which I’m not sure is a good decision.

I don’t think it hurts the aac too much. Especially with the addition of WSU.

They are really good at baseball too. The BE is huge drop off competition wise compared to the AAC in baseball. This is a shortsighted decision by them. As cheesy as it sounds, the American truly is rising in all sports, with or without UCONN.

Yeah, they want their b-ball program to be relevant so bad, they are throwing everything else out the door.

Isn't this a huge pay cut for UConn. I thought it was like 7M in the AAC vs 2M in BE.

They will save by cutting football and less travel
