So the Big 12 is not expanding.
Here is what UConn and the AAC should do.
1) Don't add any football schools. BYU, Army, and Air Force won't come. No need to add Colorado State. Adding schools will dilute the football money.
2) Football is already strong, but basketball needs work. Therefore, add VCU and Wichita St.
Go to 20-game conference schedule (13 teams). Uconn has to be guaranteed to play VCU, WSU, Cincy, Memphis, Temple, SMU twice every year.
3) Force the AAC to relinquish Tier 3 rights.
4) Drop sports to get to NCAA minimum 7 male sports (men's golf, men's tennis, men's cross country, women's cross country, women's tennis) and still stay Title IX compliant.
In review we cut costs, increase revenues (Tier 3 rights), keep football strong, and strengthen basketball.
