Staying in the AAC is the only option and as long as UConn is willing to fund athletics at a P5 level, I don't think "death" is imminent.

A couple things to note:

-We just built a state of the art hoop facility and are reeling in big recruits. As long as KO is here, hoops will survive.

-The football facility is around a decade old and is in good shape. We pay Diaco a P5 level salary and we are showing signs of improvement on the field as well as in recruiting.

-So, we have two top notch facilities, two P5 level compensated coaches who are recruiting in the AAC.

-Most of our games aside from FCS opponents and cupcake early season hoop opponents are on national tv. Which by the way is up for renegotiation in only a few years.

So, don't get me wrong, the AAC cannot be our final home if we want to compete at the top levels decades from now (barring a P5 secession from NCAA), but I think we have more time than people think.

Forming a schedule alliance in football and joining the A10 in hoops, isnt even worth discussing.
