IMHO UConn is truly at the bottom rung of the conference ladder now so any change can only be a positive.

Think of it this way....would UConn rather be in the American Conference, as the most valuable program in a low value conference without any regional rivalries, making 2 million a year or be in a northeast-centric conference with schools like BC, Cuse, Pitt, WVU, Cincinnati, Louisville etc while making around $20 million a year? The BIG/SEC/PAC can't take everyone and the leftovers would be much valuable and in line with UConn than most of the current AAC members.

The dream is the BIG but status quo is the nightmare. Right now UConn is living the nightmare. Maybe the BIG moves to lock up the NE or maybe the BIG decides to by pass it entirely. Either way,  conference movement is our friend.  And yes, if we miss on the next re-alignment, we will be emotionally double crushed.  But, no matter how any future realignment shakes out, UConn cannot end up worse than it currently is in the AAC.

Now we just need realignment to begin again. The conference money disparity increases that happening.
