The AAC wasn’t a bad conference for UConn.
UConn was just an awful team in AAC.
11 wins in 7 seasons
3 in 2013,
4 on 2015 we average 28,000 per game with a .500 season not too shabby .
We only managed 4 total wins in the other 5 years combined 0-16 out last two years .
It’s a national conference that touches the best recruiting areas if you have the right team of recruiters its the best path to P status .
Ours previous effort was Absolutely disgusting .
Frankly if Army joins
it’s currently the most regional football conference, for you we must play regional guys .
Temple
Army
Navy
ECU
Charlotte
USF
FAU
UAB
Memphis
Tulane

UNT ( Dallas))
UTSA
Tulsa
With a preferred scheduling and an 8 conference games we would be insane to turn down that conference as a football only
for the $4,000,000 Navy gets
+3 p schools and UMass.
We really need to go back and dominate to exorcise the evil of 2013-19.

The latest is that Army is not joining.

But no one wanted to go to/ stay in the American. That's kind of the point.

Well duh. The American is essentially the successor to Big East football. Everyone that was in Big East football wanted out because they knew they would end up in something like the American.

Lol, your your moving the goalposts my friend. Comparing the American to Big East football is a fallacy. The Big East was a solid football conference. The American was a bus stop depot where people were waiting for their way out.
 
WSU/OSU to ACC would be idiotic. So once ACC loses their flagship teams. They'll have to take a discount deal from ESPN/FOX with increase travel. I know the ACC took Stanford and Cal but those teams have a chance to get called up to the BIG (atleast Stanford when ND moves to the BIG).

No.

You don’t even know where the goalposts are.

Everyone that could leave the Big East did. Miami, BC, Pitt, Syracuse, Rutgers, WVU… and UConn, Cincy and USF would have as well given the opportunity.

It was a good conference that nobody was trying to stay in.

I have no earthly idea why you perceive this any differently.

You're right because you're moving them around like they are on wheels!

plenty of people wanted to join the piggies, and actually did. Eventually it was targeted for a series of raids which depleted the conference. But that doesn't mean that it wasn't a good, competitive, and enjoyable football conference. That was what @KryHavok was referencing.

Sure it was. And nobody wanted to stay in it. I haven't moved them once. Go back to original comment and take some Ginko Biloba or something.

It had more to do with the BB schools blocking Penn State than anything else. From that moment on the football schools didn't cotton to the BB-only schools having that much power in the conference. Then the conferences that were making more money started to poach the conference that wasn't making as much.

At its height BE football was excellent with nationally known programs. In a sense too, FB parity in the conference may have played a role as there wasn't a single standout team.

Lol @KryHavok talked about how the Big East was a good football conference. It was. Your comment was that nobody ever wanted to join it and everyone always wanted to leave it. That's patently and demonstrably untrue. I suspect that you recognize that now.

This conversation kind of seems like it's not productive at this point. Feel free to have the last word.

That’s too far back.

Even still, what’s to stop the B1G and ACC from poaching the very same schools and Penn State. The Big East was always a sitting duck.

The old Big East was considered very too heavy. Almost like it just gave Miami a conference to play in with a bunch of nobodies.

The New Big East was considered sometimes unfairly to be not good enough to be BCS.

And behind the scenes the entire membership was actively working on leaving to a more stable conference.

If it’s not true then how come everyone left? After it essentially disintegrated even Boise, TCU and SD State bailed.

You can’t and never will win this argument.

If the Big East had gotten Penn State who's to say we wouldn't have been the poacher instead of the poachee. As Tranghese told Gavitt, the Big East would rue the day they didn't admit Penn State.

Literally everyone. That’s who.
 
The Pac 12 ....too late. Colorado driving a lot of the rating.

SEC evidently didn't have headroom to grow ratings...

Right at that moment the football schools should have broken away. Had that happened they would have been the poachERS. But who knew what was coming?
