Report: UConn Going To Big East For 2020-2021 Season

[UconnU]

AAC may not fill our vacancy..

 

[djct1999]

We're making an unprecedented move. No telling how this will end up. One thing I know about UConn is that we are great at burning bridges.

Hopefully, this decision was made with more information than you and I both know. With UConn's track record, you have reason to worry. Just be happy that all weekend Benedict wasn't spotted at Dunkin Donuts. For that alone, I am slightly more confident this time.

 

[Lefty2one]

Somehow, they love Catholic schools extending out to Omaha.

Because they are basketball schools with some history, great fanbases, and good-to-great gameday/in-arena atmospheres. It's not playing in front of 2,000 half-asleep people at Tulane.

 

[FriarJ]

It's only because we're used to valuing regional FB/BB schools more. I am sure people here would rather be in the same conference with BC.

So would I but we aint.

That first conference game... i'm going to pay so much money to be there.

I was thinking about that. I wonder who it will be with?

 

[ClifSpliffy]

I feel sad about this development. big fish/small pond versus small fish/big pond kinda thing. on the other hand, we still have a bball or pigskin in our mitts, so i'll adjust, get over it, and continue to cheer. sports politics? meh, movin on....

 

[uconnphil2016]

I’m embarrassed for you.

Ask anyone outside of New England what providence college is and get back to me

It's gonna be someone big. I dont think they're gonna screw up the crazy narrative that has been laid at their feet

More like Big Fish, no pond. The AAC drained all the water out.

He lives in Seattle. Can he ask his family?

Ask anyone outside of NE what conference UConn is in and get back to me.

They live and die with it, I will have to ask someone else. Maybe a few Husky fans I know. Poor UConn Phil is embarrassed, I wonder how he has been handling the last 5 years?

 

[uconnphil2016]

Ask anyone outside of NE what conference UConn is in and get back to me.

Ask sports fans if the big east still exists and see what happens. My brother works in pro sports and had no idea it even existed anymore

I would say either Georgetown or Villanova at XL or St. John’s at MSG.

 

[auggie22]

This is the correct take. It’s an upgrade, but none of these teams are interesting outside of Nova, and our history with Nova really wasn’t charged. Georgetown kinda sucks

The gtown game in 2016 remains the most profitable game in UCONN / HCC history.

[WrenchFan69]

[uconnphil2016]

NASCAR?

MLB

SJU at MSG or Nova, GTown, PC at XL.

The report is true - basketball is heading to Big East. Chief has been holding back on publicizing this news but here it is.

I certainly knew this was coming.
