UConn's departure from American Athletic Conference is official.
The conference announced Friday that terms and fees associated with the university’s exit after the upcoming 2019-20 season and subsequent move to the Big East Conference have been finalized.
Under the terms of the agreement, The American’s member institutions voted, in accordance with conference bylaws, to terminate UConn’s membership, effective July 1, 2020.
“Some of the finest moments in UConn athletics history came during our time as a member of the American Athletic Conference and I am grateful to The American for providing a home to many of our teams over the last six years,” said UConn director of athletics David Benedict in a statement.
