On Friday morning, the American Athletic Conference voted unanimously to add the Wichita State Shockers as a non-football member. WSU will be the 12th basketball member for the league, as Navy is football-only. This arrangement may start seeming familiar for Syracuse Orange fans, who remember the unwieldy Big East days of football and basketball members.
Despite their school voting in favor of the Shockers’ addition, some UConn fans aren’t too pleased.

We can poke a little fun at our “friends” from Storrs right now, but their reaction does highlight the cruel realities of conference realignment for a lot of schools -- but really, the Huskies, Cincinnati and USF more than just about anyone else.
