Big win for MBB, more moderate win for WB. DePaul has been sort of the USF version of the Big East for WBB, being the only regular top 25 program in the conference during the New Age. But IMO top to bottom there will be more regularly 19 and 20-win members then there typically have been in the AAC. Now, will that translate into competition for Connecticut? - likely not, but it still is a step up.
But long gone are the days in Big East WCBB with names like Notre Dame, Syracuse, Lousiville, and Rutgers to go with UConn....
UConn's CFB program is going to have to scramble, but they have really been scrambling for some time now, even with a home in the AAC....

for WBB, I don't see much difference. UConn should totally dominate regardless. I guess the overall conference RPI is probably higher and perhaps the middle of the conference is a bit better?

You are right about the level of competition. The UCONN fans would love this conference because they would not have to travel across the country to see their favorite team play some road games.

Does this make St J's semi-relevant again?

UConn benefits statistically while the increased likelihood of UConn losing any one conference game is minimal.
The benefit for the women is mostly that their RPI will improve enough that as long as they win they will not have to worry about their RPI/SOS bumping them down the NCAA S curve. The AAC had 2 teams in the top 100 RPI (without UConn) while last year the NBE had 6. The NBE had 4 teams (out of 10) above 100 RPI while the AAC had 10 (out of 12)

I really hope the Women's BET doesn't become a Htfd fixture again.

I read an article that they're interested in Mohegan. In 2020 it's in Chicago, let's gooooo.

Chicago, Phil, NY are all good sites. More arenas will now bid to host. I think Geno would love a BET in Phil.

I wouldn't mind a trip to Chicago, and hopefully see my buddy Buddy Guy, but UConn's return to the BET will be in '21, no?

Buddy Guy's club is about three blocks from my building. Good times.
