Message: [QUOTE="Gburyhusky, post: 4771151, member: 11572"] I get your concerns but I think your take is more pessimistic than the facts suggest. I don't see any realistic threat that the Big 12 picks apart the Big East. If that was even a possibility Yormark would have pursued it this summer (and likely would have met the same fate as his UConn gambit). For all the Big East schools except UConn there is no other league or conference that would be an upgrade or make any sense. So I think the Big East is stable and I would not worry about the league imploding. While the situation is not perfect for us, being in a highly stable conference which sponsors the sport which is most important to UConn (and is a power conference in that sport) is actually a reasonable approach.
