AAC & Grant-of-Rights

these are facts:

1. the biggest aac programs are not signing a GOR

2. as a result, the aac will sign a new deal worth at least 2x more than the current deal, but not 3-4x more

3. from the article that started all this- "[along with UCF], Memphis, Cincinnati, Houston and South Florida are the other candidates most likely to be targeted by the power five, according to several well-placed sources."

4. thus the argument is not big east versus current AAC. it's big east versus future AAC, which looks GRIM with only tulane, toledo, wichita, ecsu, temple, smu and navy. that is a conference of misfit teams.

so who would rather be in the future aac (with football) instead of the new big east (without football)?

I just wanted to point out that none of the above schools are in the American for football. ECU is what you're trying to say I believe when you say ecsu (or at least I hope it is)

We are bringing back the White Dog?

Having a large fan base that doesn't spend money isn't very impactful...

In comparison to who? Not Texas or Penn State, but our regional peers, I think we more than hold our own.
 
Hence. You totally lost the debate component. Full University research and the multiplier effect on things beyond a basketball hoop seems to throw you.

It ain’t about smarts. And since Friar J is here ... nah never mind.
Do you want to be in a great BB conference that you already helped build or one with Tulsa and E/S/W/N State U in it? it's that simple really.
 
Basketball will never get us to a power conference. That’s already been proven when the Big12 wanted nothing to do with us coming off a 4th national championship in 20 years. You better pray like hell football gets better, because that’s the only sport of relevance in CR.
True.
 
Uh we are in the conference that we helped build. We never left, you guys did.
just keep thinking that into obscurity. Honestly, pull head from rectum. For man play in front of 1,000 people at your championship or rock MSG like you have. I like you 82 but you are missing the forest through the trees here. The P5 is NEVER coming for UConn. Especially the B1G. Sandy Barbour literally told me that to my face when you were not even as bad as you are now in football.

Pot, meet kettle!

I like you as well but your post wasn't responsive. We are in the same conference. Now whether or not we should join the NBE is another issue. We'll have a better idea by 2025. I suspect that the answer may be yes, but I hope that I'm wrong.

Oh and we do rock MSG even in the middle of snowmegeddon 2018. The plan is for us to continue to play their annually.

I don't think you realize what Hurley could do in that conference and football is not your savior, it never will be. ever. period.
 
Butch I have no idea what you mean here, we are set
Keep thinking into obscurity that we'll never be in a P5 conference. Duh. I understand you won a championship in hockey in 2015 and produced Lou Lamoriello, but do you think PC's brand is stronger than UConn's? Really?

I knew not to post in this thread. Proves this message board is a lunatic ward.

Savior? Perhaps not, but it is the key to the big boy club, for all the reasons you've probably read me post about in the past.

Of course I don't think our brand is stronger, I never implied that in any way you goofball. Doesn't mean your basketball doesn't belong back with us in the BE.
 
So do we have to commit to the conference if we don’t get extra dollars?
Susan Herbst has really bungled things. Why are we spending 10’s of millions on minor sports when we should be throwing the Hail Mary football pass and hiring top coaches. It’s what matters in CR. These worthless consultants she loves to listen to tell you major conferences prefer you to have good programs in these sports but look how schools not even in the CR conversation 10 years ago have leaped frogged us by focusing on football, while under Susan’s clueless sports leadership we sank.

I'm trying to be nice here boss. I asked Sandy Barbour to her face 5 years ago if the B1G would ever consider UConn and she literally embarrassed me in front of multiple PSU alumni for even asking, I felt terrible and there are no lifelines available anymore, ever, you will have to accept this or not, your choice.

Public and private are different. In private, I've had someone who is more important say, yes, it is possible.

you know you want your BB team in the BE, just say it!
Beep no. I went to a Catholic high school that developed into a MAAC school.

I'd rather join the NESCAC.
 
Trash the football program??? The football program trashes the football program. It's an absolute disgrace what they put on the field and try to pass off as football.
The football program is an absolute disgrace, it it needs to be fixed and not thrown to the curb. Fixing starts with imposing some accountability and quickly dumping coaches that don’t perform (I.e., the Defesive Staff this year and Edsall next year if he doesn’t start producing).
