Not sure what the nearest airport is there. It should have been a FO addition along with UConn, then pick up some BBall schools if necessary.

Hartford is the closest airport with commercial flights, but you can Charter to Westover airport.

It's also worth noting that Hartford's Bradley International Airport currently has direct flights to Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Columbus and Nashville.

And it looks to me like Pittsburgh as well, which is the closest hub airport to Kent and Akron if there are not direct flights to Cleveland or Akron/Canton airports.

People from outside of the region don't realize how interconnected Greater Hartford and Western MA are. This is one reason why I'm the rare UConn fan that had advocated for UMass joining the Big East. I think it would have been a net positive for the regional economy.

Oh it definitely would have been GREAT to be in the same conference as you guys. That drive between campuses is easy and we definitely would have had people making the trips each and every year.
