Message: [QUOTE="buddy, post: 2740433, member: 3489"] To answer your question, in my opinion: The initial affiliation was by default and the "Old Big East" imploded and UConn was left essentially homeless. UConn administration falsely believed that they would be invited to the ACC and the administration and (likely ESPN) failed to aggressively assure their invite. The whole reason to push the football program was to remain in a BCS conference at that time and now to join the P5. This has failed miserably to this point. The football push was in the interest of P5 alignment, but that also failed. Once money runs out, the commitment to the AAC will be history as well. Clearly the conference is moving toward a south and west direction and away from the northeast. I suspect UConn will be left homeless again in the near future. No sense in spending money one doesn't have to be midmajor and have to travel all over the country for conference games. [/QUOTE]
