Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 650911, member: 2524"] I think if they go to 14 or more, they will take UConn. If they go to 12, UCF/USF really cuts down on travel, and gets two big markets and a great football recruiting territory. They may view UConn alone in the northeast and Cincy with WV in the eastern Midwest as not enough critical mass to really gain mindshare. It also depends on whether they start valuing basketball, which they might. If they emphasize football only in the expansion, which would be UCF/USF, and the D4 concept happens and basketball revenue rises in salience, they could find themselves the least lucrative conference and basketball schools like Kansas might get itchy for a B1G invite. If that's the situation, they may want UConn to help keep Kansas. [/QUOTE]
