A very heavy qualified tie. Which I explained and you conveniently chose to ignore it for the obvious point which I stated but failed to elaborate. Getting into that conference would have all the jeopardy that was in place just before the OBE became the NBE. That conference is a time bomb waiting to go off.
Could be. But the present is no indicator of the future.
It could be plausible deniability. But as I've stated in this thread it is highly unlikely UConn would head down this path, in spite of any men's bb fans wishes.
Speak for yourself man, UConn bball has slowly been wasting away in the AAC, we need the beast!!!
Looks like a false rumor. Read the Altivilla article medic has posted.
0% chance the Big East would EVER confirm talks between them and UConn before an announcement of a move was made. The Big East's comment is absolutely meaningless.
Lol
Which is why I led off with the statement it could be plausible deniability. I'm well aware how this works.
UConn makes a ton of sense for the Big East, if anything it's our investment into football that drives us away from them.
I highly doubt that the Big East would confirm this but , we can all be hopeful.
My little brother went to Tulane. No one in NOLA cares about Tulane ball. No one at the school cares. Students only go to games when they have $1 beer nights.
I feel like I'm being a real *ick by arguing against the emotional preference of posters in this forum. I have a different long term outlook than you and others, but it doesn't mean I'm less passionate about the men's bb future success. It's my primary UConn focus even as I'm more likely than many in this forum to support other UConn sports.
??
Which is why I asked tcf if there is financial support by Fox for this. Because without getting a big upgrade in monies the BE does not want a football school to join them only to be concerned what happens if CR happens again. It's why they voted to separate from UConn, Cinci, and South Florida in the first place.
As I pointed out to Rip, the Catholic schools voted to split from Cinci, UConn and South Florida because they did not want to have football schools who could end up leaving them in another round of CR talks.
Why do you think the AAC is hurting UConn? Cinci hasn't struggled. SMU hasn't either. The conference is almost at the point of becoming relevant in basketball. Now that the effect of the UConn APR sanctions are nearing an end I expect over the next year or two (more likely two because of the injury impacts) to see UConn at the top of the league and when that happens I expect the AAC will leap over the NBE.
