Message: [QUOTE="Penfield, post: 2577708, member: 231"] I have always viewed the American as a temporary thing, and I don't think I could ever truly accept it as a home for UConn sports. My initial desire was to quickly get into a P5 conference and forget this ever happened, but that has started to look more and more unlikely. We simply got screwed. I don't know if we will ever see an environment that will lead to expansion in the near future. The money isn't there anymore. I have become open to other options at this point. I used to really enjoy the football team (going to games and watching on tv), but in general my interest in the sport has started to wane. I don't even watch the NFL that much anymore. My biggest issue with leaving the AAC for the Big East was always, what happens to the football team? You could sign me up for 20 years of losing every football game if it got us into the ACC or Big 10, but if it's not going to happen what is the point? We didn't start that program to play SMU, Tulane, and UCF ever year. If the AAC won't take our football w/o basketball maybe it's time to move football somewhere else or cut the program. I don't think going to the Big East will fix the basketball team, but if we ever did get back on track it would be more fun playing teams not named ECU and Tulsa. [/QUOTE]
