Garden Party Thursday

[UconnU]

It will most likely be 2020-2021 but that's not official until UConn and the AAC come to an agreement on the exit date

AAC is going to try to extract more more for the early exit right?

 

[UconnU]

That’s the smartest thing she’s ever said

 

[Guapo]

It’s chill because we’re staying for football

 

[Kembacity]

Wait I just got permission to bail outta work for an hour and go to this. Chances I get a photo with Hurley?

20 minutes

This was a half joke; if BYU and Army say no to the AAC, who out there brings more to the table than UConn?

 

[bendm]

if BYU and Army say no to the AAC

"when" BYU and Army say no to the AAC.

 

[selles]

Herbst channeling whaler has to be one of the signs of the apocalypse, no?

[gtcam]

She has nice legs.

Yeah that's great
She can use them to keep walking away from Storrs
She sounded like a complete moron during the presser
My God the new UConn president can't get here quick enough

 

[UconnU]

The only positive about the AAC forcing us to play in their triple-a conference for the 20-21 season is story line. We will have a major bone to pick with them for the next 2 years as they already will with us for leaving.

Crapollo. The one day that I'm not in NYC this week.

Actually we’re staying in the AAC for football and it’s going to be hilarious

 

[bendm]

Actually we’re staying in the AAC football and it’s going to be hilarious

would all uconn fans finally be happy? i doubt it.

 

[Marat]

From ‘Welcome back:’ UConn, Big East make partnership official with joint press conference

 

[tzznandrew]

That would be hilarious. Trading them OOC games in basketball is the pitch, right?

 

[tzznandrew]

If the AAC wants to keep their Conference Championship Game, they either have to add another team or play 10 league games. That's some leverage on our part as well...

 

[Guapo]

That would be hilarious. Trading them OOC games in basketball is the pitch, right?

I think the main pitch is that, assuming BYU and Army say no, they can’t find anyone better.

But, I actually believe independence will be better/more fun

Maybe. But that's putting a lot on a weakened brand. AAC Football and BE Basketball is about as good as you get in this scenario.

 

[CL82]

Jonathan is not impressed.

 

[Storrs South]

Here's the whole press conference

 

[CL82]

Yeah that's great
She can use them to keep walking away from Storrs
She sounded like a complete moron during the presser
My God the new UConn president can't get here quick enough

Yeah because he's such a dynamic speaker.

 

[reddevilhusky]

How does the exit clause situation work IF UConn were to stay in the AAC for football only?

 

[Waterbury]

Wait I just got permission to bail outta work for an hour and go to this. Chances I get a photo with Hurley?

Update: Got my photo and Hurley may or may not have referred to the AAC as "that other conference" while we were chatting.
