I don’t, but let’s say we can never get into a PX league. Our only option is the top g5 league. Which league would that be for us? For argument sake, it could be a reconstituted ACC, assuming the top 4-6 footballs teams are taken by the remaining P3.

Big East for basketball and a football only deal somewhere.

My premise is I would rather have both. You just claim they are mutually exclusive realities based on nothing.

Holy smokes!!!!!! You have solved it. UConn should join the Big 10!!!!! Thank you for sharing your staggering insight with the rest of us.

Nelson's go-to red herring: if you don't agree with him you must want to return to the AAC.

There must be some point to the endless whining by some posters about UConn's conference situation. Or are you saying that a big chunk of the posters would rather wallow in misery than enjoy a winning football season and both basketball teams being among the best in the country?

Why don’t you put the conference realignment board on ignore if it’s so triggering to you?

It’s far from just me and you are adjusting to it by replying…We’re allowed to discuss realignment as it relates to UConn on the realignment board even if it’s bad for your mental health. sorry not sorry.

If the ACC gets its head cut off to that degree then I think you are more likely to see a Big East/ACC merger for basketball that drags UConn football along with it.

I'm not sure football is much better off in that situation, to be honest.

Football would be better off in a remnant ACC - the schedule would be better in terms of top to bottom competition, would help home attendance, TV viewership would increase, etc.

It definitely would be an improvement, but if that's the best we can do it'll be a pyrrhic victory.

Well, this is a good point. Our inability to enjoy what we have which is truly extraordinary. When you have a hockey guy like me who can hardly watch the women who can only manage a first half tie at 42 with fifteenth ranked Tennessee then go on in the second half and blow them out by 30 and it ends with my jaw on the floor ... watching a sport I supposedly am not much of a fan of. What does that say? Same thing with the men at Creighton. Two nine win seasons back to back in FB. Both men's and women's hockey teams rank right up there. Let's worry about realignment and conferences next summer and enjoy the moment.

Then why isn't this thread on that board?

I started the anti-Big East thread because I wanted them to have a place to complain rather than pollute every thread on that board.

They are so passionate about their hate of the Big East that they got a thread locked where I analytically broke down how skewed the efficiency models were in favor of the SEC.

Thread 'Inter-conference records among the majors'

There has been a lot of criticism of the Big East, including quite a few on this board comparing the league to a mid-major, so I put together this analysis

Below are the interconference records between the leagues (Updated for all games).
ACC​
Big East​
Big 10​
Big 12​
SEC​
ACC
5-4​
3-10​
15-11​
16-13​
Big East
4-5​
10-7​
7-7​
7-3​

The thread was only peripherally about the Big East in that the Big East is also a conference, and I even stipulated that the Big East was the fifth best conference this year. But starting a thread about anything conference related that wasn’t focused on how terrible the Big East is still enraged the anti-Big East contingent so much that they got the thread locked.
