The issue here is that there is really no such thing as a UConn fan. UConn basketball has a cult following almost completely separate from the actual university. Hence you have about half of “UConn fans” who couldn’t give two ***** about anything Connecticut or UConn. They just want the feel good nostalgic games against whatever is left of the BE. If this decision is being made for UConn Men’s Basketball then sure stay in the big east. But if this decision is being made for the entire athletic department and the financial health and stability of the school then there is really no good faith argument. This isn’t solely about UConn Men’s Basketball and we need to get over that.

Trying to cling on to this Utopia of the past where regional rivals drove the sport and conferences made geographical sense is idiotic. The landscape has changed. And we can be stubborn and play role of the little engine that could or we could operate like a University of our stature operates in todays climate
