Big East is wild

We should definitely stay in the AAC

And all you have to do is see the name of the arena they're playing the conference tournament in and know UConn doesn't belong in this conference. What, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association wasn't interested in the naming rights?

I am really looking forward to our return to this conference. Yeah I know it’s not the old big east, but it is a basketball first league full of good teams that are not in most cases all that far from each other.

You really missed out on opportunity to write that they're all somewhat equally far away from you.

creighton is a very good school. one of the best in the midwest. they have excellent soccer, volleyball, baseball (their volleyball and baseball teams have won the big east almost every year), and basketball teams and tremendous fan support for all their programs. there's really nothing to look down your nose at other than the size of their enrollment if that really matters to you.

The trajectory should be towards the ACC or B10, do you agree with that? Does joining the BE put us on that trajectory? We should not consider the BE a permanent stopping place.

Unfortunately the BE thinks differently. Isn’t there a $10 million penalty for leaving. It may not be called a penalty but that’s what I call it.

I'm sure there's a substatantial exit penalty, a conference would be stupid not to have one and the (Old) Big East has certainly learned their lesson on that. That being said, it'd be $10 million well spent for UConn for the chance to join a legit P5.

finally, something we can all agree with.

I didn't look but I think it is $30M for the first 5 years, then a lower amount for the next 5 and then the regular withdrawal fee after 10 years.

you don't feel a certain level of institutional superiority towards Creighton?

what a sad little man you must be. UConn's acceptance rate in 1985 was 70%. you didn't graduate from the ivy league.

*shrug* ok, you think Creighton is on par with UConn. Check.

you're forgetting wichita has 5,000 more students than creighton though, making it much more of a peer institution

UConn has a very good women's basketball program. This is well known.

He thinks because Houston has 16 national titles in Golf they're more of a peer than Villanova with your 3 national championships in men's basketball.

*shrug*, ok.
