i would love nothing more than to leave the aac but is there actually any chance of that happening, let alone happening rather soon?

I have to think a few schools are ahead of us at the moment. Maybe if we could get basketball turned around and finish .500 in football.

You wanna have a theoretical, hypothetical, conversation that’s not going to mean anything? Sure, we can have that.. I think it’s ridiculous...

Here is my Northeast footprint CR league..

UConn
UMass
Army
Nova (graduates to FBS)
Buffalo (leaves Mac)
Delaware (graduates to FBS.. cool helmet)
ODU (CUSA goes back to 12)
Ohio (leaves Mac)
Maine (graduates to FBS)
Marshall (CUSA goes back to 12)
Georgetown (graduates to FBS)
James Madison

My prediction: UConn is eventually going to run out of money and won't be able to further justify the massive subsidy to fund the non-revenue sports and football. After dropping these programs, they'll have to beg the Big East for an invite.

We'll know one way or another in 4 years, five at the most. I don't think it will end well for us. If we are locked out for sure cuts will come and people will pine away for the AAC days (when the school subsizided a P5 budget.) I'm not optimistic.

I've also wondered if basketball does improve, but we have to drop football, why nobody talks about us making a play for the ACC.

Going forward, I would much rather be in the ACC as the 16th hoops team, than the 11th team in the Big East.

nope




Let me spell it out for you. The warden on the left is a P5 conference . The Dude with the Pie IS NOT UConn, but is any handful of schools that WILL be picked over us if a spot even opens.

I don't know whether to say, "Welcome, alien" or, "Welcome, earthling."
