Fun to speculate, but I think I agree with the poster who's questioning the original. Why would UCONN's president be allowed to make a decision 2 years after she leaves? And then another poster saying that blowing up football would actually hurt them as the Big East's media rights are less than the new deal the AAC worked out. I know football is burning a hole into UCONN's pockets, it'll be interesting moving forward. I think it's possible for sure for UCONN to think about this.

Ackerman said in a Forbes article that numerous schools have reached out to the Big East in interest in joining, I would be shocked if UCONN weren't on that list, but the Big East media rights don't end until 2025, so that would give 4 years (if the original poster is correct) of having to share profits with another school, and most likely if we take 1, we take 2 schools to keep the conference numbers on par, who'd be the other school that's marketable as good as UCONN is, that doesn't have a football program/would drop a football program. The logistics on expansion is tough, I'd love to see UCONN join, because of the history UCONN basketball has had, and I think they'll be competitive again with Hurley, but I'm also pretty content getting a bigger piece of the pie with 10 teams, as our 10 teams so far have been pretty damn competitive.
