Interesting move by both that makes sense for both... but will UConn be the only public school in the Big East? I wonder if the Big East will add anyone else. It’s too bad that Syracuse is so happily ensconced in the ACC.
UCONN is in a tough spot financially. UCONN can’t afford FBS football unless they can get into a league with a better TV contract. They can’t get into a league with a better TV contract without FBS football. No football league wants UCONN without their basketball programs. Those AAC travel expenses must be staggering for a school that is so far away from some of the other league members.

It's why I didn't understand Wichita State's move to the American. It has done nothing to help Marshall's program. It has been known for years & years prior to WSU's move that the high level programs wanted out. I wouldn't be surprised if Cincinnati is next. Especially with all the money they spent revamping their on campus arena.
