UC has been a beast, they also play the big boy sport which is what drives the bus in college sports. The big east never understood this and still have no clue. They look at the small fry sport and try to talk down to far superior schools and it is so comical. Enjoy UConn women’s basketball and rowing, big move for big east. UConn literally just killed the biggest sport by far and the small minded northeast leaders don’t even know yet.

I can tell the Big East is small time because of how little you care about the conference.

Seriously, Mick won 3 NCAA tournament games in the American, he had them operating some ways away from "beast". And football drives the bus, but it can frequently take the bus off a cliff. The drain of football can kill athletic departments and even bankrupt schools. UConn was in such a situation and did what they could to get out. We'll see what happens long term, but hanging on to the dream of major college football is not always a healthy route for a school.
