Message: [QUOTE="uconnyankee, post: 4897959, member: 2041"] People should realize that just joining a conference isn’t as easy as UConn saying ‘we choose you’… Conferences aren’t so eager to take just football, and UConn isn’t parking their BB programs into Sunbelt conference (or any other G5 league). UConn is gonna have to dangle something as a carrot to entice a league to take FB only. And maybe they get BE to subsidize it too. Without UConn BB, big East is not a power conference. It’s decent, but they lose a huge piece of their media value. I think once the playoff model is determined, the ACC is raided and final P4 slots are set, UConn will push for some finality to its conference alignment. With so many unknown variables likely to be solved in next couple years that will impact UConn, best option is probably independent FB and BE for everything else until it isn’t. [/QUOTE]
