UConn is coming home.
On Wednesday, the UConn Board of Trustees voted unanimously to accept an offer from the Big East Conference to join the league in all sports offered. A press conference is scheduled for Thursday in New York City where the school and the conference will make their reunification complete.

UCONN to Big East Official
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

Looking forward to it!
And wondering after the press conference, which bar are the women’s basketball coaches going to for group therapy.

Yeah, can't say the women's coaches are too thrilled, pretty cool to think about Geno walking around Cintas though, would have loved Calhoun too, excited for this, I think it's a good move, and strengthens the conference. A whole helluva lot better than adding some crap team like Dayton.

Welcome. Should be exciting. I hope we can keep the scheduling concept of home and away.
It's time for a bourbon on the rocks!

Does UConn have to go through the RCIA process first? Do they need a sponsor?

Val did a great job again. 3.5 m entrance fee and 30 m exit fee for 1st 6 yrs. Awesome. If UConn leaves we get 30 mill and still have the RR. Ha! i'm sure she will be squeezing Fox for more bucks too.

I don't know, I think the talent disparity is a big bigger in the women's game, it's tougher for teams to knock out the giants like UCONN, I'm hoping you're right though, would love to see a talent increase due to having the most storied women's program in the country in the Big East, hoping our staff relishes the challenge, but I can tell you I'm not jealous of having to game plan against them at all haha.
