Inviting Navy and Air Force into the Big East for football only is one of the best moves left to the Big East and UConn. Both teams are better, historically and overall, than UConn. And both teams likely carry more national cache than UConn.
This is not to say that I am happy with the prospects of playing in a football conference with Air Force and Navy. However, unless we get an invite elsewhere, UConn will not be playing in a BCS football conference. It is, therefore, time to start thinking about how to build a football league that will complement our basketball program as best as possible until something better comes along. If playing good, albeit unflashy, football allows UConn basketball to continue to stay strong, I'm all for it.
