I have been as homicidal as anyone about this league, and more importantly our revenue situation. We are where we are, and continued whining about it is pointless. Nothing is going to change on the conference front for years, and possibly ever.
The AAC has to do the same thing the Big East did 10 years ago. Put interesting teams on the field and play exciting games. Get ratings up. That leads to more revenue, viability, and potentially a call up to one of the major conferences. We do need at least a few of the other AAC teams to get better. We can not be in a terrible conference, because no one will watch those games, and then we are really finished. I think Pat Hill's scheduling motto of anyone, any time, anywhere, is the right approach for UConn too. We need quality non-conference games, even if we have to do some 1 for 2's or sell road games. We need to remain relevant, and to do that, we need to play, and beat, quality opponents.
