SOUTHINGTON, Conn. — As conference realignment chatter continues to churn, UConn football coach Jim Mora was contemplating what it could all mean for the program he resuscitated last year.
“I walk carefully, because I don’t want to upset the hardcore basketball fans who are so emotionally connected to the Big East,” Mora said Tuesday before the UConn Coaches Road Show panel discussion at the Kinsmen Brewing Company.
“I always see it through the lens of a football coach, and for the overall athletic department and I know, for football, having a chance to be in a Power Five conference would be amazing. It would be an amazing opportunity for us to compete against the best, to have an opportunity to win championships, it would certainly help our recruiting.”
