Accepting that, in the end, things will work out to absolutely screw us is oddly comforting.

I absolutely agree that by dangling the carrot of ACC teams, potentially becoming available in the relative near future, the chance of a Big 12 invitation to Connecticut reduces exponentially.

On the other hand, the increased likelihood of ACC defectors, particularly those who have  voiced vigorous opposition to our joining that conference, increases the likelihood that we could end up there.  Of course, whether the ACC leftovers will actually be worth joining is an open question.

I guess the only solace we can take from the ACC/FSU settlement is that leaving things as they are is a death sentence to us.  This settlement appears to open the door to realignment, which will break the status quo.   At least there may be an opportunity for us to have a soft landing spot.  Of course, it's equally possible, that there will be a consolidation which will, de facto, relegate us to the minor leagues.
