Jeff Jacobs: Hey ESPN, What Can You Do For UConn?
Memphis pushed its chips into the middle of the table. And why not? The future of big-time athletics is on the line for a number of colleges in the coming weeks.
If the Big 12 ultimately decides not to expand after months of speculation, sure, cries of "false alarm!" will cascade across the land. Or if the Big 12 does decide to expand and the move starts some unforeseen dominoes falling in other Power Five conferences, the can of hopes and dreams will again be kicked down the road for excluded schools.
Yet there is a real possibility the Big 12 will add two schools and that will be it, at least for the foreseeable future. If this proves to be the case, why wouldn't the six to eight schools that desperately want to get into a Power Five play every card they can?
So what about it ESPN of Bristol? What card can you play for Connecticut and the state's flagship university?
