Those who think that the SEC wouldn't add UConn based on anything other than geography are nuts. The SEC doesn't need to add football powerhouses. It just doesn't. Alabama, LSU, Florida, Tennesse, TAMU, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina. It isn't exactly hurting for football brands is it? It needs to add content for its network to rival the Big Ten.
As the conference goes to a 10 games schedule, the power brands will need to infill from the conference. UConn would fill that role quite nicely.
The pesky thing is geography and southern schools playing in Connecticut in November. Of course, with creating scheduling that problem would be solved. Games only suck from early November on, so no need to have say Florida come visit then. We're only talking about max 5 home games. And as for that, the meadowlands would be one game a year.
While this type of talk may be an online version of Fantasyland, it's better than "hoping" that Notre Dame has our backs, because I have more faith in being invited to the SEC than for Notre Dame and its little sister BEESEEU ever doing UConn any favors.
And as always, as crazy as this idea is, while pigs may not fly, just remember that the Big Ten added Rutgers, so someplace, somewhere out there is a little birdie that thinks its a little piggie, so never discount seemingly irrational moves in realignment.
