With the last home game in this conference complete and a win, I can say in the loudest terms possible GOODBYE AAC!!!!!!
Seven years ago, UCONN administration officials with no connection to UCONN basketball tradition and dreams of football dollars in their eyes left the Big East Conference. Reinforced by radio commentators echoing the company line that this was a good move and football would get better, led UCONN fans down a rabbit hole with no football dollars to speak of and broken basketball dreams. Each year got progressively worse in the AAC until we hit rockbottom. Make no mistake, leaving the Big East was an incredibly stupid move, one that a case study should be written by the School of Business about how you take your prized cash cow and drive it into the ground, hoping you can develop excellence in a sport where you've never shown excellence on Power 5 or specifically SEC level.
I had no connection with AAC teams in any way, as did many of you reading this post. Going to the game Thursday and watching us win for me meant closure and there is no reason to play any of these teams again. AAC is an Ex that you wish well but never need to see again.
It's good to be home! Go Big East Conference!
