The aftermath of UConn’s decision to re-join the Big East continues to dominate the headlines. The move was made official earlier today when school trustees voted to join the Big East for the 2020-21 athletic season, and the Huskies will be playing their last season in the AAC this year. The AAC continues to consider its options for what to do next, but currently the mood seems to be to stay at 11 teams.
