A self fufilling prophecy.. Maybe 
The reality is this could happen as the financials are now doable 
The thing that always doomed us was we simply didn’t make sense as a ROI. 
The thing‘s that changed is the New Big East Contract on a network with less viewers , as the second banana conference . That contract overall worth is really heavily weighted to the top end schools . 
Plus the rise of women’s basketball with a following whose bigger games rival most men’s team 
If I were looking at UConn from the B1G or B12. where  our basketball value would easily be in the $20,000,000 areas taking a gamble on the rebirth of football is less risky as it’s a throw in . 
If we got 1/3 share in the B1G
or 3/4 of the Big 12  is game on
We come with very little downside risk 
 I’m not predicting anything but the case I could make if I were consulting a conference is much stronger than a year ago . Since money and the Networks call the shots who knows
