We'll see. So what is the actual penalty for leaving the AAC. They are supposed to give 27 months notice. Oh joy yet ANOTHER court battle.

With the Big 10 and Big 12 I believe. Every. Single. Year.

The American gets to play the bottom 4 teams in the SEC.

So the Big 12 starts this year. Everyone plays everyone. Big East will now have 11 teams, but I am sure they will include is in the challenge. Imagine Kansas at Gampel?

BIG EAST, Big 12 Announce Four-Year Men’s Basketball Scheduling Series Annual 10-Game Series Will Start in 2019-20

NEW YORK – The BIG EAST and Big 12 Conferences today announced the creation of a non-conference scheduling series for four seasons, beginning in 2019-20 and continuing through 2022-23. Ten games between the two leagues will be played each season during the month of December.

Gavitt Games go until 2022. Eight games series with 4 games hosted by Big Ten and 4 games hosted by Big East.

So we get 20 games against Big East competition, a potential game with a Big Ten opponent, a likely game with a Big 12 opponent before we even schedule an OOC game.

Huge difference versus life in the American.
 
Only winners are the people for whom MSG is a fetish and the makers of Tide since those folks will be messing themselves until we actually face Creighton on a Wednesday on FX1 and nobody cares. Basketball step back football huge step back baseball huge step back. Only field hockey and ice hockey are not facing a step back. Might as well see if we can reconstruct the old YANKEE Conference
 
This decision means UConn football is dead. They are saying that football will remain FBS and that nothing has been decided. But the reality is that the football team has nowhere to go. And frankly, this decision only makes sense in the absence of football. So in a little while they will announce with great regret that UConn is shutting down its football program and they understand how much pain this will cause to some people and they hope the boosters and fans will not over react and blah, blah, blah. But when they think people aren't listening they will say among themselves "We finally got rid of it."

As a famous university president once said "These things must be done delicately."

And others cared about playing USF in the first round of the AAC in Memphis.

Way to overreact. This is better for Men's and definitely women's basketball and most of the Olympic sports besides baseball. Football will at least be playing with Villanova in the FCS where they can compete with the same talent.

They’ve been hating Hurley for several years as he previously coached University of Rhode Island. The school has a game with PC every season.

Right, and now he’s been added to their conference and they play him at least twice a year lol.

2 things regarding this, wait until you see Depaul's new arena and also I think you will find it refreshing regarding the other 2 to be playing road games in front of 18k+ screaming fans. The kids on your team will certainly like it better than what they have seen.

I have no affinity for Marquette, Butler or Creighton, but you’d have to be nuts to think that they’re not more appealing than road trips to Tulane, East Carolina or Tulsa. DePaul still sucks ass, though.

Welcome back UConn!!!

I have vivid memories of watching our teams go against the likes of Chris Smith, Ray Allen, Marcus Williams, Rudy Gay. In my lifetime, I consider you our biggest rival.

Look forward to kicking your arses again.

I bet UConn has a lot of leverage on this one as an original conference founder.

There was language in there that reduced penalties for the legacies if there was a reduction in TV fees and exposure.

UConn, Cincy and USF are the only 3 to have experienced a reduction.

This will make 11 teams. For logistical purposes the BE might want an even number of schools. So maybe they will invite someone else. I'll just get the ball rolling right now.......F%$# UMass!

College athletics has developed this way, all along. Did you see Ohio State or Michigan try to kick out any school?

The Big 10 isn't walking through that door , Butch.

No more Sunday 5pm games! Or Tuesday 6pm games, either!

Big Mondays again!!

I don't think Big Mondays are the Big East anymore. I think it's the Big 10 and the Big 12?

why are people complaining about football?

BC
Cuse
Pitt
VTech
Miami
Rutgers

Better than what we have

^^^probably being said by some moron somewhere.
 
I haven’t posted in awhile, but this brought me here. Wanted to see everyone’s reactions.

I have no ties to the state, school or other athletic teams, so for me this is an enormous win. I started to tune out the regular season snoozers, good team or not. This gives me some juice and most importantly, I think it’s better for our national rep and recruiting.

I’m a football season ticket holder and want nothing but the best for them - but when the ad running promotes outdoor seating rather than the team...time to make the move.
