Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 3550224, member: 523"] I don't know if it's much, much, better. It certainly more assertive. Better to put destiny in their own hands as opposed to ESPN and the AAC. The only thing missing is a guaranteed bowl game and access to a conference title (not to be discounted). Everything else is close, but the AAC has reached its ceiling. You can't have a run in FB in the G5 as good as the AAC has had recently with the top 25 teams and UCF going undefeated for nearly 2 years. They should have gotten a better deal if this were just about on field performance. But it isn't. The P5 is still a cabal and no one else is getting in until they say so. No being bound by a conference just adds to UConn's value add should the world tilt favorably. We stand as our own thing now, no more comparisons to Cincy or Memphis or UCF. Its up to the program to go succeed. By that I mean cheat if neccessary. [/QUOTE]
