Isn't women's field hockey in the Big East? I don't know if there are others.
Oh man, I don't know. I just know that for 3 1/2 decades now, the UCONN athletic department has had absolutely no consistency in conference membership both for own major money making sports, and with regards to changing membership of other university athletic programs. The Big East had what 17 different athletic departments come and go in 30 years? We lived with the Notre Dame experience for 15 years. We had football only's. We were a football only. We played basketball (men's and women's) as conference games, against I believe as many as 30 different programs in the past 3 decades.
It's really remarkable that we've been able to generate the fan following we have for UCONN in the past 3 decades. It would only grow, the fan following and interest in intercollegiate athletics in this most dense and highly sought after media center of the world which is the tri-state area - if we had a consistent schedule year in and year out against programs like Michigan, OSU, Mich State, Penn STate, Univeristy of New Jersey, Maryland, Indiana, Illinois......
