With the Big East looking more unstable by the minute, UConn and Cincinnati have made it widely known that the two schools want out of their disappearing conference.

Unless Maryland is able to exit the ACC without dropping $50M, the ACC looks to be gaining stability with the (for football) addition of Louisville that appeases the likes of vital members Florida State and Clemson, which ultimately makes the Huskies and Bearcats prospects of joining the ACC more and more unlikely.

Big 12 sources have stated numerous times that they will not expand to 12 members unless the prospective members added worth to the conferences TV package.

However, if research done within the conference suggests that the Huskies would increase TV revenue by bringing in a section of the New York market, would Huskie fans support a move to the Big 12?

I'm going to assume that an UConn invite would go along with an invite for Cincinnati.

The huskies would be the apparent geographic outlier of the big 12, but at least they would be in relative proximity to their former Big East rivals, West Virginia and Cincy.

What do you guys think? Let me know if you have any hypotheticals about UConn's conference membership.
