This is why UConn needs to get into the B12. B12 gets it, and Brett Yormark is a forward thinking making genius with his plans. In order to build a true coast to coast conference, you can't not be involved in the East Coast.
B12 has some time until 2031 (next TV deal) to establish itself as the true national number 1 basketball conference, which is why they need to get UConn now to set the flag in the area. By then, B12 should be ready to pick off teams they want from the ACC once FSU and Clemson leave the conference.
