But the New Orleans market.......

But the New Orleans market..

Hear UConn football is going to be able to compete for recruits head to head with LSU because they play Tulane every 6 years in NOLA.

 

[Guapo]

You guys love making fun of Tulane but there are a few schools in the conference I’d kick out before them.

I'm still waiting on the details, but I pretty much agree and think everything you say will be true.

I love UConn football, but if we're not going to commit to even trying to compete in the AAC it doesn't make sense to continue to half rear end it.

If by 2023 we're still in the basement of AAC football, don't get a P5 invite (lol), it may be time to call up the Big East and at least ensure hoops survives.

There is a very good chanc game hat by then the AAC will be among the best hoop leagues. UConn Memphis coming back, Houston Cincy Temple one of both Florida schools. SMU and Tulsa pretty good. If it continues this could be a really good league. One of those 6-7-8 bid leagues on a regular basis.

Sounds good but you realize the cartel will never allow the AAC to have 6-7-8.

Yes UConn should go to the Big East who make $4m/year per school instead of the $7m that were about to make. And we should also throw away any chance of getting into a real conference when realignment happens in 2023 at the end of our deal and the Big 10/Big 12 deals. This Dude has been terribly wrong about everything in conference realignment in the past few years lol

I don't see 6+ but this should settle at at a 4-5 bid league. Maybe an occasional 6, maybe a 2-3 bid league but mostly 4-5.

As long as SOS remains important in the evaluation scheme it will be a problem since it is a pretty bogus and self fulfilling measurement. Bad teams in good leagues invariably get over rated which pumps up everyone else’s rating. So mediocre teams ALSO get bumped up. And most metrics over rely on SOS so end up with garbage rankings after the top 4 or 5. The idea that a team that loses to UNC is better that one that lost to Houston is sort of laughable on its face but the to compound the error buy saying a team that live at the team that lost to Carolina is better than the one that beat the team that lost to Houston is even more laughable.

I honestly hope Houston makes a deep run this year. Cincy too. And I hate both of them. That would help.

I think it's BS & his source is probably imaginary but..........if UConn dropped football then expenses would drop quite a bit & if UConn went to BE the next TV contract would get a good bump. That said it's not happening, we aren't closing the door on Football & future CR at this point.

I’m no expert on all this tv contract stuff. Why would espn and aac wait? If it’s a done deal why wait to release the deal?

 

[ConnHuskBask]

But more importantly, what was the look on his face? Smile, grin, frown, exasperation?

Announcing in Memphis?

 

[Towney007]

It's weird they haven't announced it if it's done.

OMG Chief is Aresco!

#gagorder

 

[billybud]

if Aresco had completed his thought, we'd know for sure if he was Chief...

"I have to maintain silence on that. Aresco knows that the casual fan may find that frustrating, but those of us in the business know that is how it is done."

 

[UCDaveD]

I actually have it on good authority that the final value of the contract is going to be decided during a prime time episode of Deal or No Deal (to air on ESPN+) featuring Commissioner Aresco.
