Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3215789, member: 2524"] The AAC was never on par with the NBE, but there was a thought that the AAC might grow, as many of the schools were making significant investments in athletics for the first time and UConn was likely to come out of its downward spiral under Ollie and back to national prominence, helping to lift the conference; meanwhile the NBE might decay, as the Catholic schools had been the weaker half of the old Big East and might struggle over the long run, despite recent success. However, UConn moving to the NBE means there is no longer any comparison between the leagues. [/QUOTE]
