Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3194513, member: 5798"] They can form new rivalries with teams that are in the NBE. Since it appears a "certainty" that UConn is going back to the BE, make it work for you. We know the BE is not the P5 conference they sought, but IMO it's an improvement over the AAC. UConn had no business in the AAC. It was like being put in suspended animation. There is no future for UConn in the AAC. They've been wanting to get out since 2013. Well, now's their chance. If an invitation is extended, I think they have to accept it. I'm sure a satisfactory solution will be found for the football team. I'd like to think that most of us will welcome the change of scenery once conference play begins. I look forward to watching them play new conference opposition. It was impossible for me to get excited about playing teams in the AAC. As we know, NONE of them are at UConn's elite level, which is why UConn as yet to lose a conference game. Right now, UConn is a whale in a very small AAC pond. Most of those teams don't have a single McD All American, or a top 100 rated player player on their roster. In the last 5 years, only a [U]very small[/U] number of players in the Hoopgurlz top 100 committed to a program in the AAC other than UConn. UConn is always the biggest game on their schedule. I'm thinking that most teams in the AAC will be glad to see UConn leave. It will level the playing field for everyone else to not only win games, but have a realistic chance of winning the conference tournament and getting that automatic bid to the BIG dance. If UConn does leave the AAC, there'll be no reason to look back when they do. [/QUOTE]
