UConn back to the Beast?

UConn reportedly has been invited to rejoin the Big East. That would be huge for college basketball. Not only would this put a basketball program back in a basketball conference (possibly THE basketball conference), but it would restore some traditional rivalries.

One thing that realignment ignored were traditional rivalries, much to the hurt of the game. As NBC's Rob Dauster put it, "Ask any UConn fan if they care about watching their team play the likes of Tulsa, East Carolina or Tulane and you’ll get laughed at."

Here is hoping this happens. It would be good for the game.
