Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 5063741, member: 523"] If they are playing good teams, yes. With sub-100 results, no. UConn sold out nearly every game in the old Big East days before conference realignment before the American Conference was created. There are no current B12 teams that wouldn't draw well. I would expect close to 40k per game easy during the first few years at least. The better question is will UConn in a AAC heavy B12 be able to draw enough talent to not be a complete doormat and actually compete near the top of the league. It's unclear how the new NIL format will affect the pecking order in a Texas/OU free B12. Using the BCS era as a reference, none of the P12 transfers would be considered dominant in this combined league, outside of OSU, WV, TCU neither would the B12 holdovers. The rest are AAC/CUSA programs that have riden the CR wave upward. UConn was as good or better at the time. No reason to think that on an even field, a UConn with it's overall high level AD couldn't compete in this version of the B12. [/QUOTE]
