Well, everyone else is talking about it. If you somehow haven’t heard yet, a UConn move to a new conference appears imminent.
Overall, I think it’s a shortsighted move that eliminates whatever minuscule chance we ever had at being a big time athletic institution, but I wanted to just focus on baseball.
It simply sucks.
Penders has us flying so damn high, and I do think a not insignificant factor has been the high level of competition in the AAC. We’ve started to land the elite CT (and some PA, MA, and NY for that matter) recruits that in the past would’ve been ACC bound because we became a top program in a respectable league that plays other good teams every weekend.
I’m skeptical that this move won’t hurt baseball. Hopefully Penders has us in such a good spot that this won’t hurt our mometum. But the margin of error will be slim.
