NCAA just killed the AAC

[Glastonhusky]

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

I really, really wish there was a way to go indy in football and move our other sports back to the BE. Even the current watered down version is better than what we have now, and the travel would be easier. I know it's next to impossible to schedule as an indy in football, but has every option been explored? How about if we offered schools 2 BB games for 1 FB game? An all you can eat day at the Dairy Bar for the whole team, anything.

That would eventually result in either 16 regular season games being scheduled in a year or contracts for games in the year 2050.

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.

Well if Mike Francessa says its true, it must be. UConn has better demo graphics that 75% of the p5 schools in terms of what matters - Media market size, income demographics and academic ranking. Francessa wouldn't know the difference between a $50.oo bill and a hotdog with extra relish on it.

The NCAA didn't kill the AAC. The AAC killed the AAC. Outside of Temple beating KU, name the next best win an AAC team had in the non conference. I'll wait. Some of the teams in the AAC didn't have a single non-conference win against a P5 team. UConn only beat a sub-.500 Florida team. SMU's best non-AAC win was against a .500 Michigan team. Tulsa beat a sub-.500 and irrelevant Auburn team. Outside of Cincinnati the AAC won jack in the non-conference. The decision was easy for the committee and I can't say I disagree.

Talking about your conference affiliation is ALL you guys do...24/7/365

Listen putz, how many fans did Memphis send to the tourney in Hartford? We're arrogant? This is a step down for us in more ways than one. We were 98% of the fans at the games , got hosed on the ticket prices and have to share the $$$ with the rest of you who couldn'tbe bothered to show up. We got screwed, Temple got screwed. I used to think this conference could make it long term. Boy have I had a wake up call.

Good luck to Cincy. When we and/or Cincy, Usf and temple leave you will find out who was who according to a the contract. I am so pizzed off right now I can hardly think straight.

Ps I love this team.

Has anyone heard from our comish?? Any AD's?

As someone who just spend several hundred dollars the last 4 nights at this league tournament I'm getting a little tired of the cowardly try not to offend anyone silence act when everyone knows what's going on.

They don't just snub deserving teams, or under seed our teams, they give them almost impossible draws so when they eventually lose they can say See Toldya so!

That's a good sign, Fatso has been losing his grip on reality for a while now. In the lead up to the Super Bowl he actually said he was offered an NFL coaching job, but turned it down because the unnamed team could not meet his salary demands.

Because being in this conference sucks.

Not true. We have a separate board for that kind of talk - "Conference Realignment" board. I agree with you, we talk too much , but we have won a few meaningful games in the past. Can you please tell your Memphis team and the other AAC teams to do the same going forward. TIA.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Being in the AAC will ruin UCONN. We need to get out ASAP. At this point, I hope we go back to the BE and take our football program to whatever conference is willing to have us. I am getting sick just thinking about what is happening to our basketball programs. We are rotting here and there is no way to sugarcoat it anymore.

 

[rayrayfor3]

If it's any consolation, I was next to Warde at the game on Friday and drunkly screamed "BIG TEN BOUND BABY!!!" and he gave me a nod and slight fist pump, call me crazy....

I had to look this up

Name one good non-conference win for UCLA?

What other conference is going to take our football team but not want our bball to come with it?

mike francessa knows nothing about collegiate sports, he should stick to baseball and NFL

Hey to be honest UConn had their shot at non conference teams but that last shot vs Texas, maybe UConn is in and Texas is out. Losing to Yale? That didn't help. Temple got screwed to be sure but losing to St. Joes and UNLV didn't help their cause. Over all the league needs to play and win a stronger non conference schedule. A couple games here and there and the AAC could have had 5 in instead of 2. You can blame the league all you want but UConn dug their own hole this year and believe me I'd love to see them playing Cuse, Pitt, BC, Virginia, Louisville and ND every year but that's not the reality of the situation now is it and won't be til there is a demand for their football program. Better luck next year.

We should just do a package deal with Temple to the BE and sign up for the MAC. Sunbelt is willing to take anyone. We can also go Indy. Having AAC hanging on our neck is killing us in so many ways. We need to get out before people completely forget we just won multiple national championships.

If we get Temple onboard to leave, perhaps AAC will let both of us stay as FB on lies.

It's not just the wins, it's the scheduling. As UCLA showed, you can lose to everybody if you have a tough OOC schedule and still get in.

Question is, who wants to play us from a P5?

Temple can't go to the Big East. They have a Villanova problem, otherwise they would have been in long ago when their fb team was BE.

Then we do it alone. AAC gave Navy FB only so why not us?

Because Navy is a national brand and you don't want Navy in any other sport for competition reasons.

We played West Virginia, Texas, Duke, Florida and Stanford this year. We went 1-4 in those games. All of the teams in our conference played P5 teams, they just didn't win. For a conference to earn respect, more then 1 team has to rack up good wins in the non-conference. It's also important for the bottom half of the conference to win games against p5 teams at the bottom of their respective conferences. Tulane lost to Wake Forest and Washington. USF and UCF lost to Florida State, etc. UCLA shouldn't have made the tournament, I agree, but the AAC had it's chances and blew almost every single one of them.

How does the Big East get 6 bids?
