Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3297571, member: 2524"] Football may do better as an independent than in the AAC. We'll see. Basketball will do better in the Big East. Ultimately, both sports depend on the brand of the university as a whole. If football can consistently make a schedule of P5 teams, the Florida AAC teams, and northeastern teams, and get a bowl affiliation, they'll be able to recruit. Such a schedule may end up more attractive than an AAC schedule. And with UConn in control of its football media rights, they may be able to arrange more visibility than the AAC could give them. I think the move is going to work out well for football as well as basketball. [/QUOTE]
