Mini conference realignment coming? UConn may be moving to the Big East.

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

Hmm. Dropping football? AAC football only?

6/22/19 9:07am

This article says AAC highly unlikely. Maybe independent

6/22/19 9:08am

In other words expect a scheduling announcement soon. BYU seems to actually care about their independent brothers.

6/22/19 9:18am

It’s not completely altruistic. It helps us too.

6/22/19 9:19am

No they just know that other indy's are desperate to schedule games.

Also from that article - UCONN AD had a $41 million deficit in 2018. How?!

6/22/19 9:11am

Because their most popular program is still one that brings in very little money

Football that’s how

Their stadium is 45 minutes away from campus

Doesn't help that they were FCS til 2000 and weren't even that great as FCS.

TEXAS

Yeah, I think they thought they could build a football brand off of their basketball brand.

El Jefe

If they’re losing that much money and now don’t have a conference they should drop back down

6/22/19 9:52am

Agreed

I know it's hindsight and that the football bubble wasn't crazy then like it is now but that seems like a bad call

New England and New York also are weak college football markets. Much bigger pro

6/22/19 1:15pm

I think they were hoping to capitalize on the fact that Hartford has no teams in NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL/MLS

Bring back the Whalers!

BYU and UConn will do a scheduling deal in football

They should drop football

BYU should at least go AAC in all but football. The WCC is a big Joke.
