Although brief, Tom Dienhart mentions UConn in a BTN piece.

The excerpt in italics:
And, I’ll leave you with this thought-provoking piece from the New York Times that wonders: Should the Big Ten have taken UConn instead of Rutgers?
Here is an interesting line from the story: “(The Big Ten) supposedly wanted a foothold for its network in the New York area, but former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese always said that, outside St. John’s, Syracuse and Connecticut were by far the biggest draws in New York.”
So, there is that.
My take: UConn is too good for the AAC. Still stunned no “major” league has taken the Huskies.
Congratulations on the success of your basketball teams this year! I am of the opinion that the dual NCAA basketball championships and subsequent press, questioning why UConn is not in a P5 conference, really leaves the B1G and ACC no choice but to consider additional expansion with UConn.
