Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 4763436, member: 694"] I feel confident that there will never be a year where UConn gets 6 wins that they are without a bowl tie-in (they're 1 for 1 so far). Away team bringing refs from their own conference for home games is the standard for all out of conference matchups (even if UConn was in the Big XII, Duke still would've brought ACC refs with them). Furthermore, UConn's TV revenue for football alone exceeded the old C-USA deal for all sports and is within a few 100k of the MAC's all sports share (as well as being competitive with the Sun Belt's all-sports deal). There are only two TV rights deals that would be worth jumping to outside of a "power" conference. The AAC and MWC. The AAC's deal runs longer, but could be trimmed again with the loss of yet another team. Who knows if the MWC will exist as an entity and the location is less than ideal. UConn could use a conference, but it needs to be the right conference financially and really they need some sort of "power" affiliation. [/QUOTE]
