Where did I say that?
my bad if this was already posted. hard to keep up.
No it doesn't. We're both in agreement that waiting around for what could possibly happen down the road would have been really stupid when the Big East wanted us and it instantly elevates our bread and butter instantly.Looking 20 or so years down the road while the thing that makes your University tick is crumbling right before your eyes would've been insanity
That sentence implies that I was saying otherwise. Maybe you were talking about other posters idk
Hey, man, I think there's a lag on your end. Mind disconnecting and calling back in? Thanks bud.
This. It's not the American is a bad conference (though it does have its challenges) so much as it had morphed into a bad conference for us. Southern/midwestern, football-centric, conference that had zero ties to Old Big East and zero market for its T3 rights. Mike (Not Mad) Aresco may not have been a bad commissioner, per se, but he was a bad one for us.What I think I failed to appreciate was that the AAC just wasn't working for UConn specifically.
The AAC was a huge detriment to recruiting the players UConn was accustomed to go after - no question about that at allFor years people made the argument our recruiting woes had nothing to do with the AAC. Can't remember exactly who, but there were discussions about it.
I highly doubt you are 11 feet tall.Hi Guys!! New to the board 11' grad... glad to hear the great news, let the dominoes start to fall!!!
Don't tempt him...Why not? He couldn't be not madder about the whole thing.
Ollie had the #5 recruiting class in the nation while in the American.The AAC was a huge detriment to recruiting the players UConn was accustomed to go after - no question about that at all
However, The NBE is not the OBE and in that mind set, with the P5 set-up, the NBE teams are not the #1 conference as the OBE enjoyed so there will be a step back in attracting the elite
Is it a step up from the AAC - hell yes
I love the boneyard
Who the hell said that?

Memphis has the #1 recruiting class in the country this year.
The concept that the AAC was a determent to recruiting is not supported by facts.
But just in case... @UCPharma11, do you have an eligibility left?I highly doubt you are 11 feet tall.
