It's a true point on revenue and I'm definitely influenced by the outcome [I]I'd like[/I] to see here, but having UConn [I]should [/I]offer either the Big 12 or ACC some leverage.

If, for example, the ACC were to grab UConn now that leaves the Big 12 with very little to choose from in the east until the ACC GOR expires.  But the Big 12 GOR expires first....and WVU may reach a point where it has had its fill of playing in a midwest and western conference that has ADs that publicly highlight its presence on an eastern island (see the genius at ASU).  The Big 12 has geographically ignored WVU in this round of expansion, and if it doesn't remedy that it could be the wedge that allows the ACC/ESPN to pluck WVU.  I doubt the FSU/Clemson football folks balk at WVU...and WVU could be the Colorado that starts the dominoes falling out of the Big 12.

UConn is the only option the Big 12 has in the east prior to the ACC GOR, and one would think Yormark/Fox or ESPN/ACC would recognize this before the Big 12 GOR in 2031...but these folks have respectfully added two schools from Utah/Zona and Boston freaking College so who knows.
