if you could change facts, would UConn be better off in the slimmed down Big 12, or the new Big East ?
 
The Big 12 of course. They're still going to command probably 15M a year in TV rights plus another 10-15M a year in playoff / bowl payouts.

The Big East. We would be geographic outliers in a non-power league that is comprised of mid-major football programs and the rump half of the original Big 12.

They're a lot better than mid major in football with that combination. They're definitely ahead of the pac12, and without Texas pulling at the other members i could see where they come out of this stronger with 12. Cincy, Houston and Ucf will up their already strong recruiting games and those are all top 20 quality teams in recent years in those recruiting regions which are all A+. With the exception of Kansas, they're are not as many dogs in that group as probably any conference other than the SEC.

Def the big 12. We had a fake shot at it 5 years ago, but knew that we needed to strengthen football if another shot popped up. Here it is and we aren’t even on the list. This is the final nail in the coffin. Cincy, UCF, and Houston played their cards well.
 
Big East, our brand is tied to New York City and basketball. The fact that any of you think that running out our embarrassment of a football team in a Southern/Central American league is of more value to the school than our basketball team being prominent in the city every March is insane. The Big 10 and the ACC would be obvious upgrades, the Big XII? Get a grip.
