Taking football out of the equation,  the Big East is the ideal conference for UConn sports. Does anyone disagree?

UConn is an outlier in the Big East in that it’s the only university that has P5 level aspirations for football.

Those aspirations should never get in the way of UConn being a BB power. That is who we are…that is our identity…a basketball power.  Compromise that, and we’ve lost our identity.

I like the path the football program is on right now.  Continue under Mora building up the program to being nationally relevant while playing an independent schedule.

Then wait for the offers to come in from a P5 conference that’s strong and stable, the B1G, instead of jumping into a Big 12 conference thats in a state of flux that will take us either down or up with it.

Why take on that risk when we don’t need to? We’re on a path of increasing our value to all P5 conferences with each year under Mora.  We have the right coach at the right time who’s going to elevate our football program.

Let’s put ourselves in a position where we have multiple suitors, not just the one whom, when you do your due diligence and look under the hood, wonder whether it’ll hold up for more than a few years.
