UConn Football: Are the Huskies Ready to Join a Power 4 Conference?

The UConn Huskies ended the 2024 football season on Saturday with a dominant 27-14 win over the UNC Tar Heels in the Fenway Bowl. It caps off a 9-4 season for UConn, which gives the program the most wins since 2007 under Randy Edsall, when the program also went 9-4 and lost the Meineke Car […]

People are talking UConn football.

COULD THE ACC POUNCE FIRST?​

Heartland College Sports has learned that the Huskies remain of serious interest for Yormark, but he still needs further buy-in around the conference,.

Wouldn't it be something if both the B12 and ACC fight to get UConn as a member?

Does the Colonel know something?

Well, the ACC knows that we won yesterday. I'm not sure what the Big12 follows or what it would take for Yormark to try again with the Presidents. Maybe winning a bowl game was part of the Big 12's runway plan for UConn football.

If ESPN adored UConn, we would already be in a power conference.

ESPN is not UConn's friend by any stretch of the imagination. They have done everything they could to destroy UConn. Don't listen to the chatter. Trust no one. They will likely say that UConn beat a depleted NC team, so it doesn't really count.

ESPN is not UConn’s friend. But it’s also looking like ESPN is no friend to the ACC anymore with reports that they can pull the plug on the contract in 2 years. Who knows, maybe ESPN wants to turn the ACC into something resembling the Old Big East if/when FSU, Clemson, UNC leave.

People are talking about UConn. Never thought I’d hear this coming from Fran though

The ACC could be considering adding UConn too.

 

[CL82]

I guess this is progress, but if they think we are joining the big 12 to go 4-8 in football every year, they have no idea. On a level playing field we will certainly compete and our goal will be to win conference championships.

The ACC could be considering adding UConn too.

But they probably won't, absent a profound change of membership.

Does SMU/Cal/Stanford have a vote already? If so I wonder if they would be pro-UConn. Can’t imagine Calford wants to travel east more than they already do, although that’s pretty much every game for them any way. SMU is probably 50/50 on UConn.

 

[CL82]

. SMU is probably 50/50 on UConn.

How do you come to that conclusion?

 

[UConnTrumbull]

How do you come to that conclusion?

I actually think they would be 75/25 against because they probably don’t value what UConn brings in football, is another northeast trip, and smug alumni.

Still never answered my question if you know the answer lol

Sorry, I don't know, but I would expect that they would have a vote.

I don't know how you qualify a university's position toward UConn absent, any public statements. I'm not saying that you're wrong. I just want to understand what you're basing it on which you explained a little bit above. For the most part, I would think the motivation is whether the addition of Connecticut would bring an immediate increase in revenue to the conference members.

UConn would definitely add viewers to the weak ACC channel. Lots of private equity types and corporate sponsors want UConn in ACC to get connections to metro New York City

It’s just a gut feeling. I have nothing definitive on that end. I think our academics would be viewed positively. Just playing the hypothetical game. If the 3 new members are pro-UConn does that get us enough votes. Not entirely sure.
