Message: [QUOTE="dwalks93, post: 1627289, member: 5598"] C'Mon now you are just trying to bait UConn fans. Comparing UConn in the AAC to Texas in the Big12 is unfair. UT is a plank holder and one of the two anchor pieces in the Big12. When you ask an average fan about the Big12 the first teams that come to mind are UT and OU. It is truly up to UT whether the Big12 continues or whether it implodes. The bottom line is if UT wants to absolutely maximize its revenue then its future is likely in the BIG, PAC or with a sweet heart deal in the ACC. If UT values being the center piece in a conference stepped in UT history and is willing to take a little less money to be with its historic rivals then it will reform the Big12. Personally I do not see UT wanting to be in the Big12 without OU but I won't pretend to be an expert on UT' s mindset. UConn has never professed undying loyalty to the AAC. There is a reason there are no GORs in the AAC. None of UConn traditional rivalries are in the AAC and the AAC literally spans from Florida to Texas to Connecticut. When UConn leaves the AAC there will be no subterfuge, no trickery, and no under-handness. [I] [/I]Despite being the most valuable program in the AAC, UConn has never demanded a larger share of revenue and UConn has never tried to pull a power play with the other AAC members. Most strong programs in the AAC have been honest in their desire to move to the P5 and no AAC team would fault another team for leaving for a P5 invite. [/QUOTE]
