This is why Aresco threw up his trial balloon last month when he said AAC would look at getting rid of East/West Divisions in Football...as he knew UCONN wouldn't be around in 2020...so AAC would most likely have just 11 teams in 2020 (might have another by 2021 to go back to even divisions).

From interview last month:
AAC commissioner Mike Aresco states on @Sports56WHBQ the league will look at changing from two divisions to having the two top rated teams play for the conference title.
