Actually, all points are looking to escape the [COLOR=#000080][B][SIZE=5]A[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR].
The rising star would be for Louisville and Rutgers - trajectory is way up since they'll get out soon.
The other upward star would be for Temple and Navy, as I guess they move into more profitable situations from where they were.
The level to slightly downward star is for the CUSA imports - they move into a similiar conference, maybe a little better initially, but much less than they hoped for once the playoff system kicks in.
The slightly downward star would be for Cinci and USF, they take a hit, but still have some hope the B12 will save them.
That leaves the entirely downward star for UConn, symbolizing their shattered hopes and dreams.

It's not actually a star at all, but a comet or meteor crashing down to earth.
 
[Note: I had to google to figure out what teams were coming in the conference to assign to the various star points. Typing "AAC" didn't lead to a result having to do with the conference until the 8th page, which only contained one article - a local paper note that SMUs conference name would be changing. For comparison, a search for "ACC" provides the official website in the very first result, followed by the conference wiki page.]
