No one should have thought that post was credible because, well, the idea is completely off the wall.The interesting thing about this thread is I think most of us thought HFD's post was credible until we realized it was HFD. If another person had posted the same thing without the telltale evidence of HFD, we would still be discussing it gleefully right now. Which means that despite coming from HFD, this idea is not completely off the wall. BYU, Idaho and New Mexico State need opponents, which means if Cincinnati and us both bailed on the AAC, which I think is the smart move, there would be 4 teams locked in for scheduling, 2 of which were pretty strong programs. Could we assemble 8 games a year after that? You would need 5 more against quality competition, which would be difficult but not impossible.
There were way too many moving parts for that scenario to be considered realistic. And that's not even taking into consideration that UConn football would struggle mightily as an independent.
