Why is the Big East terrible for UConn and where should UConn go instead?

I wanted so see a quick view of the relative strengths of the conferences. There is a slight drop off to the Big East at #5.

Big 12 and then drops off slightly to 2-4. Then more drop offs from 5-9. 9-14 are all very close which includes the American and the MAC.

Interesting. If you move Connecticut to the ACC that would become probably the second or top conference in the country. Move us to the big 12 and you solidify their number one spot.

The fact that isn't happening is a good indication that this ranking doesn't impact the value of the conferences.

Wait!!! Are you saying that we should join the Big 10?!?!?! Did you take a break from curing cancer and inventing a machine to travel through time to figure this out? You must be some kind of super-genius to figure that out. So when do we join?

Fun fact: The ACC reject conference you fantasize about would be worse than the Big East for hoops.

Wow! Now you have jumped the shark with that response. Let’s see, Joining the Big 10-not mentioned
Cutting cancer-never mentioned
Time travel-never mentioned though fun fact there is or at least was a faculty member at UConn studying time travel. I am not he, though.
ACC rejects-nope. Not mentioned.

Why don’t you take a couple of aspirin and maybe a nap. You’ll be fine.

He had an interesting concept. Essentially you could only travel backwards in time and only do so if the door to traveling backwards in time was opened in the past and stayed open.

So if you opened a door in say 2026 and left it open for 100 years, someone in 2126 could travel back to that moment.

One interesting thought is what if someone steps through in say 2076 and another person steps through in 2126 then the two people would both occupy the same physical place and moment in time at the same time. I'm not a quantum physicist, nor a medical doctor, but I suspect that would be "a bad thing."
