Creighton who?

[Nighthawk]

ESPN is reporting U Conn to rejoin the Big East.  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/27030819/sources-uconn-expected-rejoin-big-east%3fplatform=amp

 

That would be a huge get for them.   Not sure if it would better or worsen our chances of seeing a Nebraska vs UConn b-ball game for the men sooner than we would if they stayed where they are.

"Sources said the football program is expected to play in the American in 2019 but could go independent after that or join another conference."

Does anyone pay much attention to their football program? Lol they could keep them in the big east and have them win the conference title every year.

I'm sure the primary reason for them trying to move to the Big East is that recruits are saying "UConn has a basketball program?"

Could their women’s team beat Creighton’s men?

The re-inclusion of UConn feels like a pretty big deal for the Big East. Wonder if the conference would go ahead & add a 12th member, as has been rumored since the beginning of the latest iteration of the B.E. in attaining a full complement of 12 members. And UConn football has really bottomed out, that's too bad.

Is it possible that UConn basketball could go to the Big East for basketball and then the ACC for all other sports that Notre Dame isn't in?

They really haven’t recovered from the steady hand of Bob Diacco...

Well, all Big East Women’s Teams can forget about a conference title. 

[Silverbacked1]

Maybe UCONN is going to drop football.

No. I would imagine a final score something like 130-10.

You might be right, but Rebecca Lobo vs. Bob Harstad one-on-one would be worth the price of admission.

Rebecca Lobo didn't fare very well against Craig Kilborn.

Some speculation on which school would replace UConn in the AAC:

Kilborn is a Hastings MN native & was the first host of the Daily Show, pre - John Stewart...

And he challenged Lobo to go 1-on-1 and obliterated her on national TV.

Pretty sure he played College ball on some level...

Which means the guys at Creighton should be a step up and the ladies at UCONN a step down.  It wouldn't be pretty.

With the Gavitt Games, the odds of us playing each other are MUCH higher than if UCONN were to stay in the American.

Would be funny to see, but no. The best women's basketball team of all time would struggle to finish in the top half of a decent boy's high-school league.

If they moved Memphis to the other division and added Boise that would actually be a decent conference.

 

Boise probably won't go for that though. Too much travel and it would mess with their scheduling philosophy too much.

 

Buffalo is probably their best option, with UAB 2nd.
