Perhaps I'm clinging to hope and being completely illogical, but I noticed something fishy in the way that ESPN reported WVU's exit as it relates to UConn.
The first oddity in the story is a quote from Rick Pitino. Obviously he's not an AD or president so his opinion isn't necessarily something we should rejoice over but he's quoted in the article as saying, "I told (Marinatto) we have to make sure this is a basketball conference, too. Take them all," Pitino said. "I told him that the only school that would leave now if it could is Connecticut. They want to go to the ACC. So plan for that."
Plan for that? Is something, at least in Pitino's mind, imminent?
The next nugget I found was "Pitino would like to see football schools Louisville, Rutgers, UConn (for now), Cincinnati and South Florida remain with the Big East and the conference to add Navy, Boise State and Air Force for football and Memphis, Temple, Houston, SMU and Central Florida in all sports."
"UConn (for now)." Kinda makes me think something might be up? Could ESPN know something we don't? Like I said, I might be reaching for something that isn't there.
