Multiple sources around the country have announced that UConn will depart from the American Athletic Conference in all sports, taking effect in 2020.
According to ESPN, the Huskies are expected to return to the Big East for basketball, the conference the school left in 2013. The Big East does not have a league for football, so the future of the UConn football program is in the air. As of now, sources believe the Husky football team would go independent after the 2019 season, like Notre Dame is now, until they can find a home in another conference.
The UConn women’s basketball team has been practically unchallenged since joining the conference, posting a perfect 102-0 regular season record, and 18-0 tournament record in its six years with the AAC.
