Long-Term HC Options

[Bonehead]

Edsall coaching last Saturday was terrible, that being said, Dave Benedict's primary focus right now is getting us out of the AAC and apply to the Big East in everything except football. He needs to save the UConn basketball brand at all costs, that in turn might get the ACC interested in UConn in everything except football. Football goes independent alongside UMass, BYU and the rest for the foreseeable future. You heard it here first, that is the plan, heard this from a reliable source yesterday. Uconn's ace in the hole is the men's basketball program and it's still very desirable brand, the ACC would take UConn in all sports except football.

Same source who said we are sniffing Mason or different source?

Why couldn’t you leave football in AAC and bring everything else to Big East?

AAC won't go along with it. They want UConn men's basketball just as much as the Big East or the ACC.

Is that mason guy the one from Vanderbilt?

How dare you post this without having suffered through rain and wind and cold and sniffles and coughing and wet feet and blisters and sadness?

I am not sure who suffered more. The few people who were there had crappy weather conditions but at least their vision may have been impeded. Those of us who watched at home had a clearer view of the coaching fiasco.

Check your sarcasm meter, John. Wasn't pointed at you all, Bro. I watched from home and I'm not embarrassed to say so. Most of our TG party did as well. Two brave souls made their way to the Rent (they played the parts of fans 8 and 9, respectively.)

Did not think the comment was pointed at me. Living in BHM, AL I don't get to see UConn much in person. Saw the bowl game here, the one in Charlotte and games in Tampa and Orlando. Actually thought it was pointed at BL.

Seems like the only scenario this would make sense in is a scenario where the new AAC media contract is largely the same as we have now....and our independent football/BE all other sports actually generates more $$ through better 3rd tier rights mgmt.
