It's a completely myopic viewpoint, which as an outsider I suppose I'll never understand. If we're talking about the Old Big East, the one that they make 30 for 30 Specials on ESPN about, maybe you could make that argument. However, this conference is basically a 50/50 split between small Midwest private schools, small Northeast private schools and a large land grant state school tacked on. These fans clutch dearly to MSG, but again is this The MSG of UConn beating Pitt in 3 overtimes or Xavier beating Creighton in a battle of WGAF?

I don't believe that a B1G Invite is coming anytime soon, but if a Big 12 or ACC Offer potentially happen in the next few years the school would have to jump all over it. UConn runs a 50 Mil deficit in its athletic department, and that is not going to get chipped away by the next Big East Contract. Leave that conference to the schools that want to sponsor 15-18 sports with none of them being FBS Football. Its borderline criminal that UConn has to play football home and homes with FIU and Utah State instead of North Carolina or Kansas.
