I don't care about the round robin, honestly. If Yukon comes back, bring another school in to make it 12. A Dayton, A St. Louis, or whatever best candidate isn't going to devalue this league.

Get a shit ton of lawyers to read the contract over and over again to make sure there are no loopholes to get out of it and have a clause in there that UConn guarantees to pay the full amount for exit fees. Also throw something in there that says UConn waives their right to go to court to get a reduced exit fee. That should persuade them from trying to leave.

I suspect the new additions to the Big East could really care less if we add UConn or not. I wonder if there will be pressure to add another school further west like Wichita State or St. Louis maybe?
If they went to 11 with UCONN, the best thing would be to wait and see how it was working before adding an arbitrary crap 12th team

Spiders make some people nervous. Leaves moving in the wind make some people nervous. Girls make some people nervous. Odd numbers make some people nervous.
There is no good reason to be afraid of odd numbers. They just make some people nervous.

If the BE can get UCONN, why would there be any rush to add a 12th team? The BE is doing great as a 10 team league. If they went to 11 with UCONN, the best thing would be to wait and see how it was working before adding an arbitrary crap 12th team like Dayton, SLU or anyone not named Notre Dame or Kansas.
