I really don't care a whit about UConn. To me, its a Yankee Conference school that's had some success playing up. But that's just me. I've never seen UConn as a rival in anything ... so I'm a true Indifferent observer.
 
But if I were a UConn fan, I'd be very concerned about the future.
 
1. Conference Expansion might happen and it might not happen and even if it does it might take years for there to be any changes. And time is not on UConn's side. It becomes less visible and less attractive over time.
 
2. Even if Conferences do expand, there's no guarantee that UConn will be picked. There are a lot of equally attractive choices. I was stunned when the ACC picked academic weakling Louisville. So I now see schools like Cincinnati being just as attractive. Or even a Memphis with Fred Smith bankrolling it.
 
3. Rutgers was chosen ONLY because of the number of cable subscribers in NJ. Absent that factor they are with UConn in the NNNBE. At least Maryland had a few other things going for it. But the B1G may have absorbed all the schools it doesn't really want but couldn't pass up because of the number of cable subscribers. Let the snake digest those two turds before it looks for anything else.
 
As I said, if you are relaxed and think this is a slam dunk, I'd rethink my position. I'm guessing its 50-50 that UConn goes back to being what it was.
