The news of WVU possibly joining the SEC has me thinking about what BE schools I most want to remain intact with when UConn finds its final conference home, whether that be an expanded BE or an expanded ACC/B1G.
If the BEast blows up, I wouldn't really care about never playing Ville, Cincinnati or USF again. To me the two teams I most want to continue playing in both football and basketball are Pitt and Cuse. Sure Rutgers is geographically closest but they just aren't good enough for me to truly care about them. Cuse hasn't been doing so hot in football but the basketball rivalry there is too much to let go of. Finally, every year Pitt is the team I look forward to playing the most in both Football and Basketball.
WVU would probably be third on my list after Pitt and Cuse mainly because they are the cream of the football conference and have had some good basketball teams through the years as well. I don't really see any way that we are in a conference with WVU if the BEast blows up though because they would probably be a better fit for the SEC than the ACC.
So it would appear that the only way to maintain rivalries with Pitt and Cuse is to go to the B1G if the offer should come. I think our most likely home is the ACC which wouldn't be all bad considering the basketball side of things would be ridiculous with UNC and Duke coupled with maybe Cuse if they were to come with us. We would also get the chance to pummel BCU in football which would bring great happiness to me.
