If Sampson stays at Houston and Marshall at WSU (sort of the problem of not being in a major conference) which is possible, then a heathy UCONN program could make at least the top half of the AAC a solid basketball conference, not a power conference, but one that can consistently put final four contenders into the tournament. The bottom will be terrible still, but a respectable BB conference. UCF and USF are committed to their athletic departments, Memphis is still potentially Memphis. It's not the BE UCONN for sure, but they can at least be Xavier with the right hire.
