Seems he has the Susan Herbst talking points memo on conference affiliation memorized quite well:
Q: Is the Big East the long-term home for UConn?"
WM: I can't answer that question right now in terms of long-term home of the conference. Here is my approach: I'm walking into the University of Connecticut and we're a member of the Big East Conference, and that's where my focus is going to be, winning the Big East Conference and helping our student-athletes be successful. The college landscape is changing, so I'm not going to put blinders on and not keep my eye out, and ears to the ground to figure out what's in the best interest of UConn. But I'm not here to do anything else but to help work with the coaches and student-athletes to be successful and help us win.
