Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3194009, member: 55"] The slog in the AAC would have been harden than in the Big East, but not exponentially so. 90% of the disaster that has befallen our football program is because of our coaching hires, not our conference affiliation. We have sucked for too long with a program that very few had a deep caring about. If we had maintained '07 -- '10 level following Edsall's departure, attendance would have gone done because it's going down in most places and we wouldn't care about our attendance as much, but it would be fine. We'd be playing competitive football against opponents of overall roughly the same quality. We needed time, along with a greater financial commitment and some luck. But a resurgence would have come at some point if we were determined to have one. Now we need to draw a royal straight flush with our first five cards in order to think football will survive a decade. I don't think it will. [/QUOTE]
