Big East & UConn

If the Big 12 doesn't expand then nobody leaves the AAC and it would probably make sense from UCONN's perspective to stay as long as their chances of making the NCAA tournament are not diminished. If Cincinnati and Memphis are hypothetically accepted by the Big 10, the AAC might fall in stature and make it harder to get an at large bid. At that point UCONN might want into the Big East.

I agree with you, no Big 12 move for any AAC teams will mean UConn stays put and hope for another opportunity with ACC perhaps. A BC objection would in my opinion have little weight since their program is a mess.

LMAO! That's a BIG HYPOTHETICAL! I guess that is one way for Memphis and Cincinnati to raise their ranking in the next U.S. News College Rankings. By association!
 
Yikes! In the article about the "old' Big East writer doesn't even mention St. John's. Always thought it was a pretty big deal for those hillbillies to travel to MSG and NYC for the SJU and BE Tournament.
Seriously, I don't think we need and personally I don't want them back. F'em they wanted football let them figure it out on there own.

They need to fire the commissioner. This was a giant CF since the start.

They need to prepare for Texas and Oklahoma leaving and they don't seem to be doing it.

ESPN and Uconn will partner up and do what? Host recruits? Provide recruits jobs?

These guys be wasting taxpayer money on their football dream for decades to come.

You know it's time to rejoin the Big East when they attach a microphone to your face with scotch tape during conference media day.

Uconn was good for the old Big East in both men's and women's basketball. The arrivals of Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma created a basketball dynasty in Storrs. It also ushered the decline in St. John's basketball. Uconn regularly out recruited St. John's in the northeast and once Carnesecca retired we started to hire basketball dunces as coaches to go head to head with a legend at Uconn. Ironically they put their football program ahead of the basketball program and now they are in a slight quagmire. The bottom line is that the Big East made Uconn basketball attractive to recruits like never before. They aspired to have the tradition of St. John's. Between 1967 and 1990 St. John's had been to 15 NCAA Tournaments. Uconn had been to 2 (Two). The roles have been reversed but in my opinion at this stage of the modern basketball era and 21st century greed, we should let Uconn go it's own way because any readmittance to the Big East would cost again and history would repeat itself. Should we ever expand to 12 I would take Dayton and VCU before Uconn. The Big East can be part of a Power 6 in college basketball for years to come if St. John's, Villanova, Georgetown, Xavier, Providence, Creighton and Butler continue to recruit well.
