I think if given the opportunity, UConn would leave the AAC to go back to the Big East. IMO I think they should be in the Big East. The travel would make more sense, the rivalries, and the Big East Tournament. So many people including myself miss going to NYC for the Big East Tournament. Although everyone is saying there is no talk, I think there is.
Also, I believe that the AAC would add WSU as a basketball only member. Might be looking at Dayton and VCU too. I think the TV contract is what's keeping the AAC from adding WSU.

There was a recent article about UConn going back to the Big East. IIRC it was written by the same guy that first came out with the WSU to the AAC story.
I believe UConn would and should go back to the Big East in a heartbeat if they were invited and could find somewhere to stash their football program. However I believe the real purpose behind the story was to stir the pot on AAC expansion. Shortly after that story came out we started to see the flood of WSU to the AAC rumors.Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day.

Seriously though, probably yes. Though I think they could make a deep run this year, have to think the ROI is greater with a better conference in the long term.The Assman
