NCAA just killed the AAC

[DDaileyuconn]

GT a 4 seed, over SMU a 6 seed, UCLA a 11 seed 7 points vs KY, temple out, Tulsa out, we got to run for the hills

Good idea. I was on the fence before today but now I'm convinced that it would be better to be in a power conference.

Have fun in CUSA!

"Just" killed the AAC?

This isn't an all of a sudden thing...

 

[Ha Who]

Maybe Malloy and Susan will finally agree with the urgency the base has had for two years.

We are in CUSA. This only looks good from where you sit.

I'm far less sick about losing that game today and missing the NCAA as I am about the treatment of this garbage pile of a conference. UCLA and Indiana getting in is all the evidence you need, not to mention an Ok State team barely above .500. Someone seriously has to step up and do something or we are in huge trouble. I'm beside myself....

 

[Towney007]

I haven't been as motivated about this before today. They've gotta get out.

The same league you're in?

The same league you've been in for 25 years?

Leave it to a Memphis fan to talk to us about our conference affiliation...

UCLA should not be in before Temple, amazing. In fact, our resume is better than UCLA, but we can't blame anyone for what we didn't do. We just don't play in a conference that has ranked teams, a self improving and perpetuating situation. Texas plays in such a conference. We need to play teams with numbers besides their names. Many of those teams.

except he's right. still a step above the other G5 conferences and schools like SMU, Temple, Memphis, Cincy, and apparently even Tulsa are going to be decent opponents going forward.

and we're the ones being carried in football.

I have exactly zero love for the AAC but things could be worse.

Good God. Exactly what do you want them to do that you know they haven't done? Have a press conference where they say this conference sucks and we won't have an athletic program for long in it?

Our conference just got 2 bids.

If teams in the conference win games OOC, everyone's RPI goes up. The A-Ten was treated tons better last year than that. Because they got shafted this year? Or because they won far more OOC games the year before against quality teams?

That having been said, Temple did get shafted and this year's announcement seems to show the same power grab by the majors we're seeing in football. I don't think the NCAA is staying together all that much longer.

It's half of what we do. The other half of our time is dedicated to celebrating the national championships we win.

Dude we played in a premier athletic conference for years and now were here. You played in a worst conference so now you're in better conference and you're happy.

Maybe we talk about it because we are in a league with all you CUSA graduates. Yet you come here and say have fun in CUSA as though your school isn't a part of the problem.

Mike Francessa stated last week on his radio show.
That Uconn has a ZERO chance of getting into the BIG 10 or any other power conference.
because football pays th bills and uconn's football program is Putrid.

we either stay in the aac and deal with it or junk football and crawl back to the big east.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

i have zero interest in uconn football.
so i hope they decide what's best for the basketball team and go back to the Big East.

Mike Francessa is as keyed in to realignment as your are.

I see nothing wrong with playing Georgetown and Villanova again - lets crawl, beg, whatever

Francesca is an a-$-$hat. Obviously Rutgers got that B1G invite because of their dominate football performances.

We all know you can have athletics and still make it to the big leagues. Rutgers and Pitt are prime examples. As well as BC and Syracuse for that matter.

If today isn't absolute evidence to you that the P5 are looking for a split, then what's it going to take for you to realize that?

They are looking to take the NCAA's $1B a year from the tourney and to split it among 60 schools.
