UConn won a Men's national championship in the AAC. Their performance recently has not been conference related.

Keep in mind that they won that 2014 NC with players primarily recruited by Jim Calhoun to play in the old Big East. Ollie reaped the rewards but things have trended downhill since then. Their issues may be due to coaching, it may be recruiting, it may be the conference. It's probably a little bit of each.

That being said, basketball is UConn's bread an butter. It's in their best interest to protect their most valuable asset. Moving to the NBE would be a smart move, especially if they can broker a deal for placement of their football team in FBS.

Recruiting has been fine, it is coaching. They are still getting good players. Also UConn can dominate the American like they do in women's basketball and be a top 10 team it is just coaching. Conference is not holding Gonzaga back.

If you think UCONN can dominate the AAC like that with Memphis and Cincy in it, then that proves that ecu fans really don't know anything about college bball
