UConn rejoining the Big East means the school has given up on football program

Fewer than nine years after the Huskies played in the Fiesta Bowl, they’re waving the white flag on ever reaching such lofty heights again. They’re surrendering any hopes of eventually being invited to the ACC or the Big 12. They’re acknowledging that they have screwed up so bad the last half-decade in football that the only way they can save their athletic department is to cut and run from a conference that’s actually trying to compete with the big boys. 

Oh, sure, UConn football will go on in some form. That’s all to be sorted out, just collateral damage in a decision that’s entirely about basketball. Maybe someone like the Mid-American Conference or Conference USA will allow UConn to park its football program as a one-off, although it’s hard to see what value the Huskies would bring at this point.
