Big 10 and Big 12 conference challenges. Regional opponents with recent and historical success. Play at MSG 2-6 times a year. Play Nova and Georgetown twice a year. Play on national TV in primetime.What opportunities are those exactly?
Playing Georgetown twice a year isn’t attractive, they’ve done nothing in two decades. There is one regional opponent with recent success in Nova. If you want to leave an upstart basketball conference where Memphis is bringing in the best class in the nation and teams don’t struggle to find coaches (cc St. John’s) then have fun, because that’s what’s happening here.Big 10 and Big 12 conference challenges.

I can’t believe you’re serious. Outside of Nova, what Big East team do you seriously consider a marquis match-up going into this season?View attachment 44042
The Big East has been 3x the conference the American has been and is closer to the ACC than the American is to the lowest P5 conference.
All 3 of them.American Conference loyalists are going to become unbearable on here.

That’s not what I asked. If you want to compare the best of the worst, congrats, the BE wins in a landslide. As far as where both conferences are trending, what about Big East recruiting, coaching hires, non-Nova tournament production is any better than the AAC, considering we need to sacrifice virtually every other program to join? And again, what BE match-up outside Nova are you that excited for?I mean are you ignoring facts? Look at the conference ratings. 15.33 is almost 3x as much as 5.59. It’s 3x as good. The last 3 years 9/10 teams have been ranked inside the top 100. The American has never had a year with more than 8 teams inside the top 100. The big east worst ranked team last year was 118. The Americans was 283.

Again, none of those teams outside of Nova has done any more than anyone in the AAC in terms of tournament success. Xavier checked out in the second round that 2018 1 seed year to FSU and providence lost to arkansas in the first round of the NIT this year. Marquette lost in the first round by 19 to Murray State. And if we stayed in the AAC then we would have the same number of top 25 recruiting classes for the year, the difference being the AAC would still have the top ranked class in Memphis, so not sure what your end game was with that point. The difference in all of this, again, is one scenario we don’t sacrifice our other programs and in one we do for what is virtually a lateral, if not negative, basketballVillanova, Georgetown, Providence, Marquette, Xavier, Butler, and creighton are all games I’m excited for. If you want to talk about NCAA tournament, up until this year UConn had more NCAA tournament wins since joining the AAC than the rest of the conference combined and we’ve been crap. Villanova has won two in that time frame. The big east had two #1 seeds in 2018, the AAC has never had a one. Uconn in the Big East would give them 3 top 25 recruiting classes this year. Without UConn the AAC has 1. Do I need to keep going?
Lol. Yeah and MSG. Sorry to say it isn’t 1990 anymoreWe don't need the rest off the Big East to be elite at recruiting. We push the UConn brand with the opportunities the Big East provides us and we will get elite recruits.
The fact the DePaul has the 26th best class tells you all you need to know about how well our recruiting will go.Nova the only big east team with any 5 star players - their class is 2nd in the country, next closest is Xavier at 19 then DePaul at 26.
Their parents will have an influenceThe kids we're trying to target aren't old enough to remember the OBE so as a selling point, can't imagine it meaning much to them especially with Pitt and Cuse gone
