LOL, we haven’t gotten any invites from the Pac 12 either.  To be honest I’m not sure Connecticut should  have taken it, if I offered. It’s a horrid that geographic fit for us and we’ve “been there and done that“ about being in a middle America league with which we have no natural rivals. At that time without Oklahoma and Texas the big 12 looked to be vulnerable to consolidation, i.e., the weakest of the P5. After the raid on the Pac 12 it may no longer be.

The ACC at least has two northeastern schools, along with some traditional basketball powers.  it would be a better fit for us in many ways. I’m not at all sure, though, that the ACC remains a power conference.  The GOR was necessary to keep the conference together, but you now have a group of schools increasingly desperate to leave as their media deal doesn’t keep pace with the big boys.  The conventional wisdom is that the strongest of the ACC teams will leave  once the GOR runs down a little bit and  Connecticut will end up in a conference with those who do not. Not optimal, but it is what it is.
