Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 3215917, member: 1609"] Obviously Nova’s success skewed comparison a tad. From a straight comparison there really wasn’t that big a difference in quality especially going forward. It’s more just a better geographical and historical fit for UConn. The Garden Tournament is also huge. The other issue is the AAC is essentially a football conference first. That’s reflected in attendance numbers of both. Aresco made little effort to help basketball until WSU was added. If he simply kept ECU football only and added WSU and VCU as BB only making the AAC into a power BB conference would have been a slam dunk. The conference won NC in 2013 and 2014 so maybe he thought it would magically happen. [/QUOTE]
