Our field hockey and women's lax already compete in the big east. I don't see why they couldn't take our men's soccer as well.Women's soccer only. The only XII school with a men's soccer program is WVU, which plays in the MAC. UConn men's soccer and women's field hockey would need a separate home (Big East?). I assume both hockey programs would be OK in Hockey East. Other program's like cross country, women's crew, volleyball, tennis may need some sort of hybrid arrangement to keep costs down.
About a year ago there was a big east media guy that tweeted that UConn AD had a meeting with big east about joining the conference. He assumed it was for basketball but I believe it may have been about the possibility of men's soccer in case we got that big 12 invite. This was about the same time I had heard that we had been working all angles including the big 12
@FDNY99 do you remember the guys name? I believe he was a St. John's beat guy and you got into with him on Twitter.
