As for UCONN, they probably will only accept a football only invite. The only conference that would probably take them would be the AAC. They aren't a great add in terms of elevating football for the conference. But then again, the AAC did just add Charlotte, so there's that.
Neither school makes sense for the Sun Belt. They are too far and if anything they bring down the level of the conference.
The Sun Belt needs to stay within its boundaries or add a school just slightly on the fringe. Memphis is really the only school right now that checks all the boxes.
As for ECU they are not elevating the conference aside from adding another school within the region. I wouldn't be opposed to having them, but it would benefit them far more than us right now.
