Message: [QUOTE="StunningSteve, post: 2913841, member: 7895"] Personally, it’s the regional diversity that makes the AAC interesting for me over the NBE. In FB and baseball, UConn must be playing teams from Florida and Texas to be upwardly mobile nationally. That’s where the players are, and the teams that have decent venues. Since UConn just built a Taj Mahal for the baseball team, that’s important. Same for football, where the AAC is the only nonP5 that is drawing viewership and prime ABC slots with Gameday in Florida this week. Even with all that, it’s a conference that was really designed for basketball. With Dan Hurley and Penny Hardaway going after players like Akok and Wiseman, the build is finally starting to be actualized. Conversely, St John’s and Georgetown are shadows of their old selves in the recruiting world. [/QUOTE]
