If UConn, which is trying to narrow its budget deficits, committed to spending the additional money it would take to compete in a coast-to-coast conference, pour more money into football, and wait eight or nine years for the revenue to stream to kick in, as SMU agreed to do in joining the ACC, that could defeat the purpose of such a move. None of these obstacles are insurmountable, if things align. I wouldn’t use the word “imminent,” but it’s inevitable, I believe, that UConn will find a home in a major conference — sooner or later. One can only be certain at the moment that both UConn and the Big 12 are open for business, and open to doing business with each other.[/I] [/QUOTE]
