The only undeniable fact about the move to the Big East, travel.Moving to the Big East will be a positive just for change of scenery alone. I don’t know what else to say.
In the the AAC, Temple is the closest team and it's 230 miles away. In the Big East, there are three colleges closer to UConn than Villanova.
In the AAC, the 2nd closest team is Cincinnati and it's about 800 miles away. In the Big East, Xavier is the 6th closest team, and it's also located in Cincinnati.
Knowing that Temple is your only bus travel team must suck for college kids. In the Big East, they can bus to Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall and Nova easily.
That's huge for the mental aspect of the game.
