So they would just be independent in football? Hell, why not? I've often wondered why schools weren't more inclined to go independent if it meant a better hoops conference. If only the A10 could lure some football schools away....
If they expand, I don't think it'll be UConn. It will be SLU or UD and SLU will get the nod. They won't go more than 11, as 11 will allowed them to keep a 20-game H/H round-robin.

UConn desperately wants to be in a power conference and since they have had zero luck with any of the P5 leagues (well at least the ACC, Big, and SEC) they think their next best option is the Big East, at least they are considered a major conference in basketball. Shows you what they think of their own football program currently.
