So ESPN was going to pay the same for the AAC rights if Uconn WBB...which draws more eyes than some men's teams in our conference..if the Conference Commissioner held them back to benefit Uconn over the rest of the conference. Again I ask, why would ESPN allow this?

I answer again, because the deal was too good to walk away from, regardless of woman's basketball.
 
If anybody is underrated in the CR hate list that led to the destruction of the BE, it is Pitt's president. Pitt was reportedly a driving force in the decision for the NBE to reject ESPN's offer and then they were the first to send out smoke signals to the Big 12 and eventually the ACC. They probably were telling both the B12 and the ACC to take Syracuse with them. That sent the dominoes of WVU, Rutgers, Louisville in motion (and wannabes Cincy USF and UConn) and also accelerated the Catholic 7 / Fox flirtation. Georgetown and Nova also deserves hate for being the leader of that flirtation as soon as it became obvious that their ESPN contract would no longer be a teat for them to suckle on after the good old days of the mega-Big East. Nova also gets hate for flip flopping on whether they would upgrade football in order to stabilize the conference (admittedly, this was a desperate Marinatto idea that was never going to happen, and Nova was a house divided on this matter). Syracuse deserves special hate for being mini-BCs and c*ck-blocking UConn once they got in the ACC.

Oh, and of course John Swofford. But you knew that already.
 
Gawd...you left Notre Dame off of your hate list...and FSU, and BC...well, maybe it would be easier to just print those who aren't hated.

There's plenty of hate to go around. Don't mock till your school has played two years in the AAC.

He comes here to mock. He is an FSU stalwart, here to screw with UConn fans. No other reason.
 
Remember when the Big East was far superior to the ACC, despite the ACC hype? remember when the ACC was only UNC, Duke, and a wild-card? Every year, year after year after year? And suddenly here is ND which never ever made it to a single Big East championship in 18 years walking away with the ACC prize. Yes, the Big East was far superior to the ACC and that awesome hoops conference destroyed. It makes me nauseous.

Give it a rest. This is a UCONN Board and we're just guests on it. If they want to complain about their current situation, its their prerogative to do so. They are first and foremost a basketball school. They went from being a part of a regional conference with the best competition in the country, to a spread out mishmash of schools playing in relative obscurity. Of all the teams that got the shaft when the CR Wheel was last spun, it would be hard to find one that got it worse than The Huskies.
 
Oh good grief....I understand the Hate mantra well. As a fan of WVU as a 2nd school and poster on their board for 13 years (14,000 +posts and counting)......I understand...the "hate thing" has been so ingrained on that board that we joke about it and sometimes post hate lists semi tongue in cheek.

The Hate thing is an "us against the world" manifestation.....I don't take much seriously, and especially these broad declarations of hate.

Sure UConn fans feel shafted....and find lightning rods for their feelings. I provide that service for Buddy without near the cost of a therapist.

You become a lightning rod for this board's feelings when you post like you do. You're not on the WVU Board, so there is no understood context about hate lists or whatever you are talking about in your post. Your post comes across lacking all empathy regarding a group of people living through a ****ty situation that they have no control of.

If FSU was the defending national champion in football but stuck in The AAC for reasons that seem ridiculous and petty, you would likely be pretty pissed about things as well. Especially when Vandy was playing UGA and UF or WF was playing Clemson and GT. All the while you're welcoming Temple or SMU to Doak Walker.

You're tedious, nothing more. You don't add to the is board, you detract from it. You think far too highly of yourself.

My question on this AAC/other conference challenge. Will it be against the MAC or another G5 league?
 
I'll bet it's the NEC. UConn/CCSU would captivate Connecticut.

Buddy,

Don't waste your time with this . You run the risk of being confused with someone who gives a about what he thinks.

You are better than that!

Pointing out the double-dealing of folks like Pitt ,is not hate. It's fact, which should never be buried.
Hate is an irrational emotion ,so driven that your own best interests are ignored in the attempt to hurt.
i.e BC bragging about black balling UConn from the ACC .
Swoffod's hypocracy should also be pointed out. Once the champion of a school's free determination to participate against schools of their choice unecumbered ,he beame the architect of the biggest Exit fee plus GOR ,when his house appeared under attack.
Double dealing ,blind hate, and hypocracy should always be brought to light.
The C7 (h7) ,were screwed over by our sainted conference commissioner,
In his quixotic quest to build a P6 conference. However ,their timing was such ,that only a fool would not understand their object was to destroy the remnants of , and make off with its not small spoils. Avarice in Catholic theology is a deadly sin.
When committed by organizations that allegedly represent that institution it is also a cause for scandal.
Notre Dame is who they are , and besides you and people who insult you ,so you might finally get the hint and leave ,no one really cares about FSU.
Maybe that's what bothers you the most.

Anyone who posts against UConn is my enemy. A lot of people here think that I am crazy, and yes, I admit that I am usually under the influence when I post in the evening. I love UConn, that's all. I don't understand why he continually posts here other than to be evil and bait. FSU=BC. Never forget.

Thats not therapy your giving...but rather I think it is something you have...I actually believe you are mental...why would you get off making someone else miserable...What is wrong with you??? ...and if you are jesting, and that was a joke...my reply is: show some decorum - what you are doing is Bad Form!
 
At this point, I think those West Virginia hillbillies are more reliable for perspective in where we stand than anyone in any administrative position of any type. Those B1G fans who come here certainly aren't trolling us, either. They are speaking words of admiration. This is an attitude that is spreading amongst B1G fans, even Ohio State and Michigan. Speaks volumes.
 
I'm going to say for arguments sake the Big 12 takes Memphis and Cincinnati to get to 12, which schools would the AAC fill them with? Thats one school from the "east" division and one from the "west"

Honestly I think UMass and one other would be solid replacements. Maybe Air Force could eventually entice Army and it would also add another school in the western division. AAC isn't going past 12 so don't even bother with that.

East:

UConn
UMass
Temple
ECU
UCF
USF

West:

Tulane
Tulsa
Houston
SMU
Navy
Air Force

Doesn't look like a bad lineup.

Drew, you are a nice positive dude and I'd probably like throwing back a beer or two with you. So please don't take this personally.

But f everything about this post and this god forsaken hell hole dumpster fire we are mired in.
 
UMass would be like my 7th choice if we needed to replace schools. Marshall, ODU, Louisiana Tech, Western Kentucky, Buffalo all ahead of them. Maybe Northern Illinois, Georgia Southern, and Georgia State, too.
