Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2136444, member: 271"] None. Everything you see now in terms of people preferring the AAC for basketball is self soothing. We do have something in common with those small Catholic schools, we were in the same conference for decades and made a lot of great memories. We also sold a lot of tickets. Here is the issue I see going forward. If UConn doesn't get a P5 invite and remains in the AAC waiting and waiting, young fans won't value the old Big East rivals. It has been a few years and 15 year old boys are already losing any appreciation for PC or SJU. Those schools bring ticket sales and we have history with them. A few more years of this and UConn fans won't show up for a game against PC, the younger fans will no longer "get it". When that happens, we better be in the ACC or B1G because if we aren't, it's over. [/QUOTE]
