Number of Bids:

Big 12: 7
Big East: 6
ACC: 5
Big 10: 7
SEC: 5
A10: 3
American: 2
WCC: 2

Its not rocket science.
 
Has anyone heard from our comish?? Any AD's?

As someone who just spend several hundred dollars the last 4 nights at this league tournament I'm getting a little tired of the cowardly try not to offend anyone silence act when everyone knows what's going on.

They don't just snub deserving teams, or under seed our teams, they give them almost impossible draws so when they eventually lose they can say See Toldya so!

That Uconn has a ZERO chance of getting into the BIG 10 or any other power conference.
because football pays th bills and uconn's football program is Putrid.

we either stay in the aac and deal with it or junk football and crawl back to the big east.

That's a good sign, Fatso has been losing his grip on reality for a while now. In the lead up to the Super Bowl he actually said he was offered an NFL coaching job, but turned it down because the unnamed team could not meet his salary demands.

Not true. We have a separate board for that kind of talk - "Conference Realignment" board. I agree with you, we talk too much , but we have won a few meaningful games in the past. Can you please tell your Memphis team and the other AAC teams to do the same going forward. TIA.

Being in the AAC will ruin UCONN. We need to get out ASAP. At this point, I hope we go back to the BE and take our football program to whatever conference is willing to have us. I am getting sick just thinking about what is happening to our basketball programs. We are rotting here and there is no way to sugarcoat it anymore.

The NCAA didn't kill the AAC. The AAC killed the AAC. Outside of Temple beating KU, name the next best win an AAC team had in the non conference. I'll wait. Some of the teams in the AAC didn't have a single non-conference win against a P5 team. UConn only beat a sub-.500 Florida team. SMU's best non-AAC win was against a .500 Michigan team. Tulsa beat a sub-.500 and irrelevant Auburn team. Outside of Cincinnati the AAC won jack in the non-conference. The decision was easy for the committee and I can't say I disagree.

Name one good non-conference win for UCLA?

What other conference is going to take our football team but not want our bball to come with it?

mike francessa knows nothing about collegiate sports, he should stick to baseball and NFL

Hey to be honest UConn had their shot at non conference teams but that last shot vs Texas, maybe UConn is in and Texas is out. Losing to Yale? That didn't help. Temple got screwed to be sure but losing to St. Joes and UNLV didn't help their cause. Over all the league needs to play and win a stronger non conference schedule. A couple games here and there and the AAC could have had 5 in instead of 2. You can blame the league all you want but UConn dug their own hole this year and believe me I'd love to see them playing Cuse, Pitt, BC, Virginia, Louisville and ND every year but that's not the reality of the situation now is it and won't be til there is a demand for their football program. Better luck next year.

We should just do a package deal with Temple to the BE and sign up for the MAC. Sunbelt is willing to take anyone. We can also go Indy. Having AAC hanging on our neck is killing us in so many ways. We need to get out before people completely forget we just won multiple national championships.

If we get Temple onboard to leave, perhaps AAC will let both of us stay as FB on lies.

It's not just the wins, it's the scheduling. As UCLA showed, you can lose to everybody if you have a tough OOC schedule and still get in.

Question is, who wants to play us from a P5?

Temple can't go to the Big East. They have a Villanova problem, otherwise they would have been in long ago when their fb team was BE.

Then we do it alone. AAC gave Navy FB only so why not us?

We played West Virginia, Texas, Duke, Florida and Stanford this year. We went 1-4 in those games. All of the teams in our conference played P5 teams, they just didn't win. For a conference to earn respect, more then 1 team has to rack up good wins in the non-conference. It's also important for the bottom half of the conference to win games against p5 teams at the bottom of their respective conferences. Tulane lost to Wake Forest and Washington. USF and UCF lost to Florida State, etc. UCLA shouldn't have made the tournament, I agree, but the AAC had it's chances and blew almost every single one of them.
 
Comical. What makes you clowns think the BE wants you. Small, private, BB only, Catholic (we made an exception of the Lutherans at Butler), and of common mindset. The BE ship has sailed...and six of the ships just got into the tourney!

I agree, UCLA shouldn't have made the tournament. Every year there's going to be an argument over a couple of teams that get in and a couple that get left out. Bottom line is the AAC didn't get respect because the AAC didn't win enough games. UCLA probably got the benefit of the doubt because of their strength of schedule.

Everyone on here arguing that the AAC was disrespected just sounds salty.

4 of our 'ships' are greater than 6 of your ships; figure that out, clown.

Listen putz, how many fans did Memphis send to the tourney in Hartford? We're arrogant? This is a step down for us in more ways than one. We were 98% of the fans at the games , got hosed on the ticket prices and have to share the $$$ with the rest of you who couldn'tbe bothered to show up. We got screwed, Temple got screwed. I used to think this conference could make it long term. Boy have I had a wake up call.

Good luck to Cincy. When we and/or Cincy, Usf and temple leave you will find out who was who according to a the contract. I am so pizzed off right now I can hardly think straight.

Ps I love this team.

You had me the moment you used putz!
 
The AAC screwed itself. If there is some kind of conspiracy the way the AAC performed only made it easier.
 
It's not out of the question for UCONN, Temple, and Tulsa to be in the NIT semifinals. Maybe SMU can join us since they'll be free by then and we can replay the AAC tournament in Madison Square Garden.

There's one difference here - UConn can give this joke of a conference a try for a few more years and if it's still not working, the "Big East" would love to have us back. Not saying its a great option and it clearly kills foo

Are you happy to be in a conference where the league champ and #14 RPI gets a 6 seed, and #34 RPI gets left out?

And we have 4 'ships. Championships that is. I wish the NBE well, it is a nice fallback option and better for us if it's strong if we decide to join someday. Don't kid yourself, they'd take Uconn in a heartbeat - all we have to do is say the word.
