UConn BB can win a whole lotta games and more than its share of natty's when it has good players and a good coach.  It has done so by both the men's and women's programs when in the BE and the AAC.  It's inaccurate to say it couldn't do it while in the ACC or Big12.

UConn FB can win its share of games and make bowl games annually when it has the right coaching staff.  It has done so without P5 revenue.  With P5 revenue it can increase its FB profile and be competitive in the ACC and perhaps in the Big12.

Travel is not a huge issue for FB or BB in either potential conference - look at the men's BB schedule next season and see the away/neutral games locations.

The BE for BB and Independent for FB is not a sustainable model - it was taken as a temporary resting spot in lieu of building back athletic success in order to get into a P5. So far, all of our athletic programs (maybe except for men's soccer) are holding up their end of things.

If either the ACC or B12 offer, you accept in a heartbeat.
