Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2046160, member: 380"] I think a lot of us are freaking out about the AAC because of how bad our team has been this year. We are worried about the UCONN brand being deflated by the conference but it is not the conference dragging this team down. Say we played to expectations this year - both the Big East and AAC would have the same amount of top 25 teams and we would be pointing out how Houston is much improved and on the rise, while Memphis and Temple are extremely young and will return to form (even UCF looks to have something decent). The Big East is deeper, no doubt. And the AAC will continue to be top heavy as long as we are stuck with dregs like ECU and Tulane and USF but there shouldn't be much of a difference at the top, provided we get our together. The mindset of the board has changed so much on this topic in the past 12 months and I think a lot of this thinking is short sighted. This problem isn't the conference, it is the performance. [/QUOTE]
