We recruit in many of the same areas as UConn, and not all of those areas are in that giant state of Connecticut.  So leveling the playing field from a conference perspective, a money perspective, I just don't think that's a good idea.  We have the better brand of course, but if two schools are in the same league with the same exposure, then brand doesn't solve everything.  Is it worth finding out the answer to this question?  Will you miss that game that much?
 
Notre Dame made more of a commitment with their football team than they ever did in the Big East.  That helped secure a better TV deal.  That helped secure a Grant of Rights.  That helped secure stability, something SU desperately needed.
 
It seems that other power conferences are starting to make noise about ND's sweet setup, and it will get louder as the playoffs approach.  Who knows if they would ultimately have the power to strongarm them into a conference, but anything's possible when the SEC and B1G get on the same page with an issue.  And if it happens, the ACC is the place ND would go.

ND = Good
 
UConn = Bad
 
I really don't see how anyone can argue it.  Calhoun isn't even there anymore.  Once Duke and UNC play their games in the Dome this year, I assure that no one outside the Nutmeg State will miss UConn's presence in our same league all that much.
