Georgetown is in the Patriot League and Villanova is in the Colonial.Whatever league Georgetown and/or Villanova are in.

They had better enjoy it while they can because JHU would quickly get to the top of that league. I think they would try to get into the Ivy League first, though, and force the Ivies to really have to think it over. (Take 'Gate on the north end and JHU on the south for an even 10.)Someone for Georgetown to beat!
I doubt UConn is interested in giving up their D-1 football program. The state has invested mega-millions in it.Whatever league Georgetown and/or Villanova are in.

I have no doubt you are right about spending for money after bad, but will the state be strong enough to admit this is the right move?In business that spending is called a "sunk cost".
You don't continue to throw good money after bad.
UConn existed for decades in the Yankee Conference before they decided to chase the big money in IA.
It's hard to see any school going from FBS to FCS these days. Liberty U just announced today that they are upgrading.In business that spending is called a "sunk cost".

Still, the trend is in the opposite direction. In just the past 5 years, UNC-Charlotte and Old Dominion have changed BB conferences because they upgraded in FB.Idaho is moving down. Bobby Petrino's brother is the coach
Idaho will become first team to drop from FBS to FCS in 2018
It's a shame. There are too many programs that are losing too much money trying to be bigger in football than they are.Still, the trend is in the opposite direction. In just the past 5 years, UNC-Charlotte and Old Dominion have changed BB conferences because they upgraded in FB.
Where can they go?
MAC or C-USA?
We were never going to be left out.Oh the humanity! Good lord, every time I see a thread like this, I just thank our lucky stars that we miraculously and fortunately landed in the ACC. We could've just as easily been on the outside looking in as is UConn. By no means am I a fan of theirs, but how frigging brutal.

No. Go strife elswhereYou mean like when VT took the spot the ACC wanted to give to SU?
We could EASILY be in UConn's spot.
I think one reason we were Team #13 in the ACC (first choice in the most recent expansion) is that the league screwed us over in the 2003 expansion.You mean like when VT took the spot the ACC wanted to give to SU?

This will be an unpopular opinion.
Offer UConn a ten year contract...Extendable in 5 years.
All sports but Football. Share BB revenue like ND along with ACC Network for all sports.
Guarantee 2 home and 2 away games in FB as they play as an independent.
