UConn football is on the road to independence and the American Athletic Conference is not feeling any pressure to replace the Huskies when they leave for the Big East. The University of Connecticut is set to announce later this week that it will be leaving the AAC and re-joining the Big East, which does not sponsor football, in 2020. (AP Photo/Stephen Dunn, File)
