Expansion Big 12 VOTING UConn Into League is Happening, Brett Yormark Presents Realignment Shocker

Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Adding UConn to the Big 12 would significantly enhance the conference in multiple ways. UConn’s basketball programs are among the most successful in college sports, with the men’s team boasting several national championships and the women’s team being a powerhouse with a record of dominance. Bringing these programs into the Big 12 would elevate the conference’s basketball prestige, making it even more competitive on a national level.

UConn's presence in the Big 12 would also expand the conference's geographic footprint into the Northeast, tapping into a new market with a passionate sports fan base. This expansion would likely increase the Big 12’s visibility and attract a broader audience, potentially leading to higher television ratings and more lucrative media deals. The Huskies’ strong brand and loyal following would be a valuable addition, enhancing the conference's overall appeal.

While UConn’s football program has not reached the heights of its basketball teams, joining a Power Five conference like the Big 12 could provide the resources and exposure needed to elevate its performance. Competing against higher-level teams could spur growth and improvement in UConn's football program, contributing to the Big 12's competitive landscape.

Moreover, UConn’s inclusion would benefit the Big 12’s other sports as well, adding depth and talent across various athletic disciplines. The university's commitment to excellence in athletics aligns well with the Big 12’s standards, making UConn a strong fit for the conference.

Overall, adding UConn to the Big 12 would bring significant competitive and financial benefits, strengthening the conference's position in college athletics.
