I'm always naive enough to think we have a plan when things don't make much sense. And we never do.

Geezus, that jackwagon should just stick to reviewing pizza. That's some kind of journalism, a bunch of tweets from teenagers and YouTube clips.UConn Football Has Now Been Rejected By Every Conference In The Country

It was actually written by a UConn FB fan... not Portnoy.

That teenager is a UConn football fan who works for Barstool. He does their general CFB stuff. He compiled the blog in this case.

Meghan Goes Full Lawyer on the Big East Contract - A Dime Back
It’s official! The Board of Trustees has voted and UConn has signed the contract to join the Big East. I’ve done a quick initial perusal of the agreement, and here are the highlights: UConn will pay $3.5M to join the Big East. The university will not be entitled to any tournament shares earned...

HT @Guapo in another thread. In this thread someone brings up that, unless they add another team, the AAC would have to play 10 league games to keep a Conference Championship Game. No way they sign on to that. So...either keep UConn with some careful negotiations or welcome Old Dominion or Buffalo for all sports...

LOL. That's just spite. He's so dumb he probably doesn't realize they need 12 teams or else they're going to need a 10 game conference.
They ain't getting BYU or Army. So (A) add a lower-upside program, (B) play 10 conference games and hope you don't lose Navy, or (C) keep UConn and work out something in our "main sport."
Knowing Aresco, they'll do (A).

I’m becoming increasingly convinced we can make this Independent thing work-and it could actually be fun!

SNY could really change things. You can make something work with a TV deal.

Aresco can go himself. SNY will get us on TV in the biggest media market in the country and enable syndication for football. He will look like a bigger idiot than usual when UConn is playing on SNY at noon on a Saturday in October and there isn't a single AAC game on live television in the New York market that day.

Especially when that game is vs Iowa State, Texas Tech, or Baylor.

If Fox could get us some B12 or BiG games
Indy could turn out to be interesting
Also Aresco is a football commissioner first he almost destroyed basketball in the AAC.
We also received little compensation in the media contract for men’s basketball and zero. for women’s. Even though UConn WBB games were among the highest ratings received by the conference.
If he wants to throw us out of his football conference I would think that s detrimental to his exit fee negotiation.
This could get interesting.
