UConn at #24 in the Pre-season AP Top 25 poll

While I would love to add Gonzaga in the BE, that would be a hell of a flight to Washington state for away games! Worse than any trips from The American days.

I'd much rather travel to Spokane to play Gonzaga than to Tulsa to play Tulsa.

One trip out there each year isn’t bad
It’s Gonzaga that we need to be concerned with as far as scheduling
I would love to have them

It's a no brainer for the Big East. The travel only impacts Gonzaga but Fox and the league can definitely make it work for them with scheduling. I think it's a no brainer for Gonzaga as well. I don't think they're going to fall off a lot when Few retires but the chance is certainly there, if they join the Big East it stabilizes them and the chances of them falling off is greatly reduced.
