Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 3192715, member: 563"] I agree about college football and have been on the fence about this move bc this isn’t good for UCONN football. However, I think in the long run it’s probably for the best of money between BE and AAC is even neutral (buyout excluded). There are only a few “likely” scenarios: P5 doesn’t expand and stays in the NCAA (BE vs AAC seems to favor BE for UCONN basketball and AAC for UCONN football, pending further info on footballs landing spot) P5 doesn’t expand and fully breaks away from NCAA (BE vs AAC seems to favor BE for UCONN overall football would be relegated to second tier forever either way here) P5 doesn’t expand breaks away for football (BE has a pretty large advantage as now AAC football is basically FCS anyway) P5 expands without UCONN (BE advantage, AAC is now likely missing at least one of Cincinnati, SMU, Houston, UCF, or USF, maybe Memphis as a far outside shot) P5 expands with UCONN (AAC advantage, but this breaks rule #1 of expansion and perhaps with #1 the least likely scenario to ever play out). This is the one scenario every UCONN fan was praying for, but it isn’t exactly realistic, especially as time passes. I have to imagine UCONN doesn’t feel it’s realistic either at this stage. [/QUOTE]
