Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 1338515, member: 1559"] Conference realignment is about universities and markets. UConn was late to upgrade both academics and athletics, but it has made substantial progress in both over the past 20 years. Still, more is needed. As for markets, Since 1991, Connecticut's population has barely grown, so the market size is stagnant at about 3.6 mill. If Connecticut had grown like South Carolina since 1991, Connecticut would have almost 5 million residents. I think that would have been a much more attractive market for conference expansion.
