I echo the sentiment about anger toward other 'Yarders. I've read multiple posts on the thread in the hoops forum. It's incredible that supposed UConn basketball fans can post such vile crap just because they want to protect playing the riff raff that's left of the Old Big East.
 People, look at the history of UConn athletics. If the change to the Big XII occurs, UConn will have been thrown a life preserver for the 2nd time. The first was when UMass abandoned the YanCon to join the Eastern 8 (predecessor of the Atlantic 10). If the Huskies hadn't been rescued by the inception of the OBE, the athletic department could have faded into oblivion.  Instead, UConn was raised to national prominence and survived. An offer to join the XII will give the athletic department financial stability & raise the profile of its sports teams. It will solidify Storrs, CT. as the college sports capital of the Northeast & make it easier to fund renovations of the University's multiple sports venues (RENT, Gampel, XL), It's a WIN.
