- This is great for UConn. It should be in the Big East, with its historical rivals. It does not belong in a league playing Tulane, Tulsa, Houston, Memphis, etc.

- While perhaps Big East should consider adding Dayton too, it sounds like from the article that going to 11 with UConn lets them do a 20 game BB schedule, double-round robin, which is what they want. So no Dayton for now.

- I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, and even if UConn admin are adamant in disagreement with me: the best course of action is for UConn to go independent in football. This won't hurt its football program one iota, relative to what it is in the AAC now (non-competitive). Could help them, if anything. If need be, you can do a yearly home/home with UMass in Gillette and the Rent.

- AAC adds Wichita St to get back to 11 full-members, and goes to 20 game BB schedule, matching the ACC and Big East (which goes to 20, double-round robin with the addition of UConn). To get back to 12 football members, AAC adds Army in football only. The Army-Navy game stays in its special slot, after the bowl games. Not sure how to best address it ... perhaps Army and Navy never play each other in conference, and it's always a non-conf game?

You can go and eff yourself instead of ignorantly trying to downplay Memphis Tiger bball. We're a top 20ish all time bball program. Why don't replace that comment with your goofers or those NDst whatchamacallits
