UConn Moving to the Big East?

Temple.... the Big East kicked them out in football.

They weren't a full member. Maybe that mattered.
Also not P5.

They got kicked out cause they were terrible. If they were going to bowl games every year.... you think they would have been banished?

How much longer are you going to be mad at ND, or Rutgers, or Old Big East, or BC, or ACC ,or Big 10, or Big 12, or Paul Pasqualoni , or the Good Ole Boy Network, or the Boggie man, or the Man, for UCONN not being in a P5?

They were NOT a member. They were an affiliate -- that is, they had a short-term contract that would get renewed every few years. At some point the Big East decided not to renew the relationship.

Full members are not contractors. They are owners.

No full member has ever been kicked out of a P5 conference. (Nor any conference to my knowledge.)

Maybe UCONN should be shooting for "Affiliate" status then. Is that more achievable?

If you join the Big East instead of the Big 12, you might as well move your football program back to FCS because it won't be able to be competitive.
