UConn is back in the Big East, baby! As of midnight July 1, UConn is back as a member of the Big East after seven miserable years in the AAC where their men's basketball team qualified for the NCAA Tournament just twice, their women's team simply steamrolled everyone and didn't lose a single game in conference play as well as the conference tournament, and football continued to turn to shit. With...
