I think Tulsa & Tulane ... disgust was on the UCONN Football board soon thereafter.  Malice aforethought.  This was an Aresco design - he was clearly pushed by the Texas centric.

We are a newbie to this level football.  It strikes me though - a league with Tulsa, Memphis, Texas teams, Florida teams, ECU - should PRIORITIZE the Northeast.  For TV eyeballs ... to maximize value.   One notes Navy drove their deal.  They, for their own selfish reasons, got into the WEST division (for God knows why).

A league that chased Boise & San Diego State ... took UCONN (and now makes statements about our lack of Football value) should have had a nice FOUR University pod in the northeast corridor.   They did not have the foresight to pull that together.  And that is a big fail by Aresco.  I believe that they could have driven their espn number higher.  Yet, I am left happy on the point that I will be going to the Garden 25 years after I first felt that rush of UCONN fans taken over Manhattan.
