I think he left the position of AAC Commissioner. That's too bad. I wanted mail him a 5x7 UConn Husky logo with a tiny hidden camera just so I can his reaction when he opens the envelope and sees the logo :D

I remember he was really angry when UConn left the AAC.

Well, don't be a dick then. he yanked us around pretty consistently and giving away the rights to UConn women's basketball basketball to ESPN plus was the straw that broke the camels back.

This.

At their height of popularity (early 1980's with the Pony Express. Regularly sold our Texas stadium-the Cowboys home) the crowds were there because it was an event. That SMU was the host was merely incidental.

They were in a lot of ways similar to Georgetown basketball of that era. It was a fad, nearly all who went to the games had little connection to the school beyond living reasonably close to the professional sports venue where the college team in question played. Without a winning product that also has some "it crowd" appeal it is nearly impossible for the school to draw fans.

During the height of Pony Express, 1982, they had 3 crowds with <35k at Texas Stadium and 2 games >50k, Texas A&M and #9 Arkansas. They never drew fans unless the other school brought them. The ACC will regret adding SMU, but they were willing to take $0 media dollars and added Texas as a home market for the ACCN.

Re: your meeting

Linda,

We will tell YOU what to do. YOU will do it! Or the G5 will quickly become the G6.

Don’t bother us with this nonsense again.

PS. And don’t be stupid - add a flagship school that wins national championships regularly in basketball and is improving its football team.

How American Athletic Conference has declined since UConn joined Big East: 'Not the league it was'​

From that article:

"(Athletic director) Dave Benedict will go down in history, John Toner first and Dave Benedict second, for making the best decision ever for the University of Connecticut and Connecticut Basketball," Auriemma said.

"A lot of people appreciate that we're back in the Big East. We're playing familiar schools that we have great rivalries and tradition with. When we were playing teams that they didn't recognize or didn't have rivalries with, it was reflected in our attendance. In this moment we have a good conference to play in, we have a good nonconference record and schedule, we have a fantastic situation here. But who knows what the future holds, right?"

We still need to get out of the Big East though.

Kind of hard to have a "super league" if you don't have the super conferences. Maybe they should call it the "pretty good league" instead.

I have no idea what the heck this thing hopes to be. But hopefully the idea is to beat the SEC and Big Ten by just being big and good with lots of alums and population that are otherwise left out. Maybe we can bust down the door as the only successful basketball team in New England and the closest athletic program to New York City that is available.
