Message: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 2953108, member: 3723"] I'm not ignoring that the AAC is extremely spread out. I'm just also not ignoring the reality that the University of Connecticut as an [I]institution[/I] does not fit with any school in the Big East. You are ignoring that because you'd rather play basketball in the league but it doesn't make it untrue. Just because you personally don't care about/like UConn football doesn't mean UConn should drop the sport. We've been playing football since 1896. You don't just drop athletic programs like that. We're in a thread talking about making more money than the Big East would because we have FBS football. You can't just ignore that. We play games against the teams from the old Big East that we want to play (Cuse, GTown, Villanova, Providence, etc). If UConn can make $10mm a year in TV money and still play basketball against those teams while keeping football its really a no brainer. [/QUOTE]
