UCONN to Big East rumor

[JTG]

A site called Digital Sports Desk is reporting UCONN will be playing basketball in the BE by the 20-21 season. They still need to figure out what to do about football where they lose $10+ million a year. Neither UConn nor BE will comment.

UConn will join Big East in all sports it sponsors likely in 2020, sources told @Stadium. It’s unknown whether UConn football will remain in AAC, play in another FBS conference - perhaps MAC or C-USA - or go independent, source said. 1st reported by @DigSportsDesk

Geno Auriemma is coming to the Cintas Center.

I wonder who will join them? Can’t imagine having an odd number in the big east.

20 game schedule and you can preserve the round robin

No one will join them. This allows for double round robin and a 20 game conference schedule.

Just got a notification on my phone from my ESPN app!

Wife and kids were wondering what I freaking out about.

Yes!

Although it does raise all the public/private concerns about conference negotiations/privacy/etc.
