AAC Schedule Announced

Ugh, Sunday afternoon game... That really sucks. The ACC went out of their way to change their game to Saturday night, and of course the AAC got stuck with Sunday afternoon.

Just when you think life in the AAC can't get any worse...

I love the complete ignorance on here sometimes.

My first UConn games I ever attended were the 1994 and 1995 Big East Tournaments. They were held on CBS. And the semi finals and finals were held on Saturday and Sunday...afternoon.

Man what a joke of a league to do that. Ugh!

And life in the AAC just couldn't get any worse....in a year where we won a National Title. I just couldn't enjoy winning it all knowing we were in the AAC.

We can only hope that he will recover from this tragedy to live some semblance of a normal life going forward.

It's probably smart to move it since Saturday is now jam packed with the ACC move and we'll get way more exposure on Sunday. It will now be on Espn or Espn2 instead of the U or something.

After looking at that conference schedule ....It helps to watch the end of the Michigan St game and Kentucky final to make things all feel better again....

I feel your pain, I'd have rather have been in the ACC and gotten swept away by Mercer in the round of 64.

I'm glad you have found memories of Big East games on Sundays...

But that doesn't change the fact that Sunday afternoon games are not desirable anymore. You're ignorant if you don't realize that. There are a lot of reasons why the ACC wanted out of Sunday (http://espn.go.com/ncb/story?storyId=10926000&src=desktop).

ESPN gave the ACC what they wanted and forced the AAC to accept the leftovers. Not shocking. Go AAC...!

Why do the SEC and Big10, the most powerful conferences, play on Sunday?

TV contracts.

Various Big 10 teams have complained about it over the years. Plus the selection committee has said several times that their seedings don't really take the outcome of the 3:30 games into consideration because the brackets are already set.

UConn's first 34 games of the year weren't taken into consideration either.
 
Speaking of seeding, I wonder if the AAC will get any respect next year. The selection committee really overrated the "Big East" and A-10 this year and were all busts. Leave to our Huskies to make the committee look super dumb.

I believe the the brackets, teams and seeding are pretty much set by Saturday night (if not before). The Conference Championship games are primarily about the ratings and lead-in to the Selection Sunday "unveiling".
