UConn is expected to leave the American Athletic Conference and rejoin the Big East in the year 2020. This news was first reported by Digital Sports Desk. Nothing has been official yet but the announcement could come next week.
ACC has an existing bylaw that would require a school to pay $10 million withdrawal fee and give 27-month notice before leaving.
The school has released a statement
“our responsibility to always be mindful of what is in the best interest of our student athletes, our fans and our future. With that being said, we have been and remain proud members of the American Athletic Conference.”
UConn fans never embraced the moving school since they had no rivals in the ACC. With the move back old rivals can ignite again.
