UConn is an absolutely abysmal fit in the Big 12. We are a northeast basketball first school looking to get an invite into a southern football first conference. We are academically miles away from all but Texas. Geography is ridiculous. Culturally we are a square peg in the Big 12's round hole.
Still notwithstanding all that, we have worked our way to be one of the top contenders for expansion. That speaks well of our brand nationally. The lesson, if we don't get an invite, isn't that we weren't worthy, it is that our national brand, academics and athletics are strong enough to make leagues that we have no business joining think long and hard about us.
