The Big East stands to benefit from UConn addition, to be finalized this week

On Monday, the University of Connecticut was formally invited as the 11th member of the Big East Conference.

On Wednesday, the UConn Board of Trustees will vote on the invitation.

On Thursday, the Big East expects to announce the addition of Connecticut.

The long-rumored move is finally happening.

To many, UConn is returning home to a conference where they enjoyed great success in men’s basketball and dominated in women’s basketball. Is it a good move for both parties?Is the potential high given the statuses of the Big East and UConn?

Conference realignment has made for confusing changes.
