    Big East hoops merge w the leftovers please. (It would be cool for Cooper to get to play Duke in a conference game)

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Pepsi would be on the outside of the All Coke Conference. Fanta Orange would make it in.

    We are a brand. More of one than Oregon State or Washington State. We and they have to align with the best brands still on the outside.

    Path Forward for UConn

    Maybe FSU and Clemson squeaky wheeling will cause ESPN to pay full freight for new expansion partners (cough, including local ones) but the new expansion partners come in at only 1/2 share for the remainder of the GOR and the balance of the new team share $ goes to FSU and Clemson to keep them...

    The “New” PAC12

    I'm in for FB only. Would they consider that? They should. We are a good fit academically, culturally and very successful AD, like Stanford, more than P5 level. We can schedule them in BB OOC. They should put together a west coast conference, add Gonzaga, keep travel regional except for FB and...

    The “New” PAC12

    We need to go into the PAC, whatever's left, with Gonzaga. Gonzaga as a member for all sports but football and UConn as football only. They can cobble together a decent football conference. SDU, UConn, Boise, SMU, 4 leftovers, Hawaii? UC Davis or another UC steps up? We stay in BE for...

    I like watching college bb again

    Okay well that was an exaggeration. I watched most UConn games but I would have never watched another AAC team.Yesterday I watched Rutgers vs. DePaul. All I'm saying is the joy is back.

    I like watching college bb again

    I completely dropped out during the AAC years. I used to watch every single UConn game pre AAC. Sob, maybe I'll even come back and post! Go Big East! That's all.

    independent coalition to negotiate bowl and play off tie ins?

    Things might work differently now after NCAA vs. Austin.

    independent coalition to negotiate bowl and play off tie ins?

    Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere but might the B12 implosion lead to a coalition of independents to negotiate a G5 type of carve out w/ some bowls and the expanded playoffs? This could get some steam with former P5 B12 leftovers as part of a coalition - and/or could such a coalition...

    SOAB people! You hijacked my MFing thead! Gonzaga is not one of the 4 teams to be added to Big10 FB after 2035. Cmon babies, I gave you Notre Dame, Syracuse, Boston College....

    The BIG MF

    Here's how it goes babies: Fox gets a feel this year for how incredible a bump in ratings UConn brings for the Big East tournament. They start dreaming about a a Big East season and tourney with Syracuse, Boston College and Notre Dame. How do they do it? Only by adding those teams to Big Ten...

    I don't know where to put this

    But just wanted to say that the combo of: Jack Z at QB, the Spanos Defense, the young receivers, Mensah, etc., its all got me excited to watch UConn FB again (and thinking we might surprise some folks, cough, Indiana, cough). Good times ahead, people.

    Benedict Wants Meeting With Aresco On Remaining In AAC For Football

    The AAC may have a duty to mitigate damages. UConn is giving them a chance to keep UConn FB. If they say no, this may impact negotiations on an exit fee.

    TV comparison - AAC vs. Big East (2018-2019)

    Hopefully, we are going to hear that Fox has also promised to add even more/better TV exposure to the (hopefully, adjusted and improved) 2020 deal.

    FOX's entry into the picture...

    I definitely might be wrong but I'm not wrong yet. We are all rooting for the best result against steep odds. Sounds like we are in NBE now in any event, which most on this board said would never happen.

    FOX's entry into the picture...

    I hear you but I don't see it that way. The NBE with us in it will have the strongest argument to keep a seat with the P5 at the BB table if there is ever a P5 split. I don't think the AAC is ever getting a seat at any table, BB or FB - it would cost the P5 too much to share FB money/access...

    In retrospect, UConn should have used its leverage in the new conference

    If I were going to be cynical, I would say a P5 conference could be tempted to damage/destroy a competing BB conference if that BB conference became too powerful. That might be attempted/accomplished by inviting one of the blue blood basketball teams to join it, if there is one that plays...

    FOX's entry into the picture...

    The above said, I think this is a long term move and we aren't going to the P5 anytime soon in any event.

    FOX's entry into the picture...

    Well, let's see what is announced. I don't like the move if we are giving up on the possibility of P5. I don't see it that way but I have no special insight. I assume the view is that we need to be a blue blood, top 10 basketball school to keep our leverage with the P5 and the chances are...

    What about our academics?

    I don't see the connection to the AAC. I can't agree that somehow we are viewed as affiliated with those schools because we were in the AAC.

    What about our academics?

    Well, you got me there. I would rather be associated with the schools in the Big East but maybe that's just my perception and a Northeast bias. I don't see any connection with the AAC and the schools you cited though: Michigan, Indiana, Virginia, Tennessee, Oregon, Missouri. If we get an...

    In retrospect, UConn should have used its leverage in the new conference

    I know FB drives the realignment bus but we were in the P5 discussion and it was not because of anything our FB team ever accomplished. (Fiesta Bowl was good but we were 8-5, no?) There is value in being among the very best in basketball and I think some of that bled over to help our FB and...

    Do NBE schools control their T3 rights?

    Notre Dame and BYU independent rights are worth money. If ours are worth zero, that's your answer as to whether we are P5 worthy. All we lose in that case is the chance that AAC ultimately achieves P6 and we missed it.

    Football Options

    C'mon people, are we a P5 level school or are we the dregs of the G5???? We will get opponents and I bet even a bowl tie in or two. If we ever get in the playoff conversation, it will mean we have gone undefeated/top 5 for multiple years. We will get a P5 invite before that happens. Maybe we...
