Message: [QUOTE="Redding Husky, post: 3306249, member: 5973"] Everyone seems to crave "local" opponents. Most UConn fans don't want to play Memphis, SMU, and Houston, even though the AAC gets a fair amount national respect. Assuming no school would leave the Big 10 or ACC to join a startup Northeastern conference, I just came up with the next ten best names available. I'm not advocating for those schools to start a new conference, and I don't think it would ever happen. I just mentioned it to see what the advocates of "local" football thought. The reaction was very negative. I think lots of people see us playing BC, Syracuse, Rutgers, and Pitt on almost an annual basis. I doubt that will happen. [/QUOTE]
