Message: [QUOTE="broooce, post: 4018890, member: 9941"] Couldn't have explained it better, thanks for a thorough analysis. With today's article in ESPN it begs the question of whether UConn, despite it's national prominence in men's and women's basketball, soccer, field hockey and recent addition of men's hockey ("Olympic sports" as Notre Dame calls these sports, among others) - will we be relegated to second tier status when the realignment dust settles this time around? UConn's sports offerings would make it very attractive to a conference looking to bolster participants in certain sports, and IMO men's (not currently offered) and women's lacrosse would make it very attractive to B1G/Notre Dame (ND plays with B1G in hockey and lax). If Texas & Oklahoma don't join the SEC until the 2025-26 academic year then UConn football has a few more years to make the improvements needed to overcome the only weakness on our resume in order to lure an invitation to a bigger, more financially lucrative conference. Big East can't do it and BE will be hard-pressed to compete with super conferences as mainly a basketball league, IMO.
