## Resource

UConn Huskies eye major conference shakeup as the Protect College Sports Act threatens to spark the next wave of realignment. With potential moves looming from the SEC and Big Ten, is UConn better positioned for the Big 12 or the ACC? Matt Schonvisky breaks down David Benedict’s recent hints, considering how shifting alliances and backfill opportunities could reshape Huskies athletics and reignite classic rivalries like UConn vs. Syracuse and UConn vs. Boston College. The episode also spotlights offensive lineman Isiah Switzer, a Toledo transfer whose size and Ohio pedigree could transform UConn’s ground game under new head coach Jason Candle. Matt Schonvisky analyzes Switzer’s impact and the emerging Ohio recruiting pipeline, while also assessing the Huskies’ evolving identity in the trenches. Will conference decisions and key recruits give UConn the edge it needs to claim a spot among college sports’ power players?
