After mere fledglings of rumors circulating around UConn message boards for approximately the 400th consecutive year it appears as though the University of Connecticut has whined their way into being welcomed back into the Big East. Stadium’s Brett McMurphy is reporting that this is for all sports that the Big East sponsors. This will assuredly do wonders for the conference from the perspective of women’s basketball, since the UConn women’s program makes John Wooden’s UCLA teams look like the New Orleans Baby Cakes. While that factor and others should not be taken out of consideration, I will now shift my focus to the affect on the conference from the men’s basketball side.
