Really good basketball program. Football not good enough? [URL='https://twitter.com/Jsjide56/status/766315447675269120']12:46 PM - 18 Aug 2016[/URL] Location, more than anything. Yeah, UConn is kind of close to West Virginia, which would give the Mountaineers a travel partner. Still, Storrs isn’t exactly easy to get to. And once you get there, the Huskies don’t seem to have as much to offer as other expansion candidates. They are fantastic at basketball, which would be a plus. But they don’t have the best football tradition. Also, what kind of television market would they bring with them? The state of Connecticut? Meh. I doubt they can deliver big ratings in New York or Boston, as some have suggested. ESPN is nearby. Does that help their chances? This isn’t to knock UConn. It is a good school with a good athletic department that can make a conference stronger. But the same can be said about Houston, BYU, Memphis, Cincinnati and seemingly everyone else in the mix.
