AAC

[Sky ball]

is starting to get to me. Too many games on CBS SN which I don't get. Football had to many now B-Ball. Need to get to P5 soon.

There are only a handful of teams with more games on ESPN1 and ESPN2 than UConn. Most good P5 schools don't play as many. When I checked last year, NC State got 4 games on ESPN 1 and 2, whereas NC State got 4.

I think UNC, Kentucky, Duke, Syracuse, and a couple others, are the only schools with more ESPN exposure.

We are in conference USA.

 

[UofMemphis]

We are in conference USA.

AAC gets 4 NCAA spots
CUSA gets 1

CUSA has a terrible TV contract that relegates all their games to CBSSN or FS1/2

CUSA earns 1/3 the money of the AAC.

as I said, you guys need to learn how the other half lives.

[metsfan2323]

Need to get to P5 soon.

or what? You gonna stop being a fan? Almost all of our games are national TV but you are not happy with what exactly?

BTW CBSSN IMO puts on a superior broadcast with better announcers than ESPN.

You should be put in charge of recruiting for UCONN, you are a heck of a salesman.

We know how the other half lives, we used to be in a power conference. Now we are here with Tulsa, Tulane, ECU etc. etc.

Huh?

This conference is killing our recruiting, if you haven't noticed. You can bury your head if you want, but this league will kill our basketball program.

Complaining about our recruiting is a boneyard ritual that has been going on for the last 10 years. The Giffey, Napier class was a sure sign that JC lost his ability to recruit.

I personally don't see any drop in our recruiting at all. We seldom get the top elite recruits, yet Hamilton and Adams are most certainly elite.

Keep crying chicken little, one of these days your world will end and you can rest.

UConn fans are more than a little delusional. Forgive them. Most of them can't comprehend that we were one rebound and free throw by Brimah from total athletic insignificance.
Most of them don't understand that 2-10 football teams don't get dates with the homecoming queens.
Most of them are too dumb to realize that the Memphis/BYU was the highlight of the AAC season. Thank you.
Most of them don't get that UCF, Memphis and East Carolina kept us from being an overpaid A-10.
And that Tulsa is the best basketball team in the AAC and that we will be lucky to end in third place.

 

[Stainmaster]

I have a feeling that even if we had UK's recruiting classes, the fans here would still complain. "Not enough balance" or something.

lol

As long as I can watch our games I could care less which network carries them.

 

[kobe]

I will say having all 18 games nationally televised is slight upgrade for us coming from the Big East. If you didn't live in Cincinnati, then there were 3-4 league games you had to stream online and since it was the Big East usually one or two of them were big games for NCAA tournament purposes.

LMFAO, that's not the other HALF...

CUSA, WCC, Sun Belt, MVC, MAC, MWC, Big West, Patriot, MAAC, and many, many others wish to the basketball Gods they could play in a basketball conference like the AAC...

you guys are really spoiled.

Nobody in the MVC or WCC or MWC would want to be in the AAC.

You might remember teams actually left to go back to the MWC.

Spoiled? 4 national championships in 15 years and we're spoiled to not want to be in a glorified C-USA? You do realize that UConn is a top 5 program in the history of college basketball? You're lucky to even have name association with UConn.

lol, that's because their admins don't give a crap about basketball...news flash...most schools don't.

honestly, I don't blame them.

and yes, Wichita State (MVC) would join this conference in a second.

yep, spoiled rotten.

this season will be good for you guys...might teach a little humility.

Actually the WCC is currently ranked higher than the American in terms of RPI. We are playing in the 9th best conference battling with the Missouri Valley to stay out of the 10th spot. I know after all those years of horrible competition you are thrilled to be in the AAC (a conference you will probably never win), but be realistic...

San Diego State doesn't care about basketball?? They were one of the schools to back out.

Those are only for OOC, not overall. Cincinnati's OOC SOS is 8, it will drop to 43 after playing in the AAC which includes 7 games against 200+ RPI competition after only playing 2 in the OOC.

no sir, they still wanted to come...without Boise, we didn't want them.
