If I was Mike Aresco, I'd say the AAC number 1 candidate is Old Dominion. Always - from the Programs first year - had great attendance. And solid venue. Good demographic market & good recruiting area.

UMass might not be top 4. Toledo. Rebuilding new stadium Georgia State. Buffalo. See ... I hope they have a Plan b.

Not Southern Mississippi?

If we get out of the conference I will never devote a single thought to it again.

There unfortunately are still some people on the MBB board OBSESSED with the Big East. Which is more understandable. I wonder how many people will keep serious tabs on ECU and Tulsa.

If UConn gets out of the AAC, I will not follow the conference any more than any other random conference. BUT, I won't root against ECU, Tulsa, etc. like I do with some Big East teams. Our situation isn't their fault. I think that's why I'd love to get into the B1G. I'd be fine with getting into the ACC, but I'd love to root against our old Big East immigrants (SU, Pitt, BC, Miami in particular) at every turn.
 
If we get into the B12 and we can establish a B12N for that conference, then I will rest from CR. But if there are drags to a network, then we must all still pay attention to the B1G. Without a network, conferences are dooming themselves. There is a race going on between the B12 and ACC to see who can launch a network first. We can be a HUGE piece to that. Seems like ESPN is downsizing while FOX wants to up their ante in the game. That points to B12 > ACC at this very moment.
 
It's not unreasonable for basketball fans to continue following old conference teams like Villanova, Georgetown, PC (this year), Marquette, and the like. They're relevant. Tulsa, Tulane, and ECU couldn't be less relevant.

He has access to the same dumb Tweets the rest of us do and probably wants the same thing we do. I sincerely doubt he knows anything.

So the TOS has a thread on this and the Daily Campus Writer who tweeted about sources is commenting on it? Maybe more of us need to subscribe....but not me....definitely not me.

Saw this on the Cincy site:

Santa J. Ono followed SUNY SA and Greg Flugaur.

Is that a fan twitter account, or does it have some official connection to the Big 12? It looks like an aggregate of every Big 12 media mention.

It doesn't appear to have any official tie to the Big XII conference, but it does have over 7,500+ followers, most of whom I'd imagine are Big XII fans. Doesn't hurt to spread the benefits of adding UConn to the fans in Big XII country. There is a serious misperception about UConn's value in conference realignment, and it's been great to see several pro-UConn articles circulating in recent days.
