Readers speak: UConn rumors are probably true – from an often abandoned Big East fan

Growing up in Big East country in New Jersey, we scoffed at rumors that Rutgers would join the Big Ten. We figured it was a stunt for media rights or revenue. But it came true.

I also remember vividly when Boston College, Syracuse, and Miami jumped to the Atlantic Coast Conference without remorse. I’ve learned from years of heartbreak that UConn and its elite basketball program will give notice of their departure, as soon as the Big 12 gets around to voting. Adam Silbert, New York, NY.
