I actually think it benefitted both parties really well, this still gives UCONN the ability to try to get a P5 invite to keep football around in the mid 2020's, though their fans think that's about a 25% chance, but it doesn't completely close the door on it. The Big East conference profile improves with a program that's historically been very good. Hurley in my opinion is the right man for the job, UCONN will probably have less travel due to the concentration of Big East teams in the North East, and The Big East will most likely own MSG for years to come for the conference tournament, and probably get a better TV deal now. Wonder how the assholes in Bristol feel about this...

ESPN will continue to act like the Big East is the MAC.

It looks like they're still negotiating the exact date of departure with the American; they haven't explicitly stated that 2020-21 will be the first year of competition for UConn in the Big East. Officially, they would need 27 months notice to leave the conference, but it's not going to do anyone any good for them to be a lame duck for 2 seasons.

Xavier will be in the same conference as UConn - 4 times National Champ in the last 20 years UConn - that is just amazing! Just a few years ago we played St Bonnie, Duquense, LaSalle and Fordham every year. It seems almost impossible!

Yeah when I was a kid the big game we focused on was playing Evansville. Talk about making the most of your opportunities to ascend.
