UConn will officially join the Big East. On Wednesday, the UConn Board of Trustees voted unanimously in favor of moving the school’s athletic programs from the American Athletic Conference to the Big East.
After Big East Presidents approved the move on Tuesday, all that’s left is the official announcement of the move which will come on Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Here’s what we know:
News broke late Friday night that planned to join the Big East Conference but still needed to wait for the official invitation. The Huskies will move every sport from their current home in the American Athletic Conference with the exception of football and both ice hockey programs, which aren’t sponsored by the Big East, along field hockey, which is already in the Big East.
