If they don't care if we are damaged they aren't too interested - which would be my point. If they were interested they wouldn't risk letting UConn wither on the AAC vine.
I'd love to understand how a case could be made that UConn could improve the metrics while in the AAC - since there doesn't seem to be a case beyond blind faith.
I suspect they're keeping an eye on UConn, and other schools (some currently under GOR), as they should with due diligence.
I think our football will be improved, at least record and perception-wise, in the AAC.
Our Men's Basketball program is being hurt in the sense that there is less wiggle room for good seeds. But the recruiting hasn't really seemed to drop off one bit.
I think if we're performing well in the AAC, and our academics keep rising, we won't be hurt as much as we think.
But, I guess my point is that UConn isn't their concern. We failed their metrics, they'll keep tabs on us and others, and make a decision in a few years. If we survive those intervening years well enough (basketball seems fine, football likely improves record-wise, academics keep up), we'll get picked up. If not, well, that would suck, but not the B1G's concern.
