Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3195012, member: 5798"] Auriemma said his team's success has [U]never[/U] depended on what conference it is in, and he doesn't see that changing. He also mentioned he isn't sure what the move means for the future of UConn's football program. But [B]the coach said he can foresee a day when all schools, not just UConn, have multiple conference affiliations based on what is best for each sport. [/B] Auriemma also challenged UConn fans, many of whom, as he noted, have been calling for the Huskies to rejoin the Big East for six years, to back up their preference by attending more games. "So if this does happen, there better be 16,000 at the XL Center every night," Auriemma said. I believe the overwhelming consensus here in the yard is that UConn has no business in the AAC. It’s not a good fit for the school. Outsiders (haters) have chastised us for years about being in a weak conference that can’t send more than 2 teams to the tournament. Well, we got our wish. The BE is not where we want to be, but it’s better than where we were. I’m excited about what lies ahead for us as we return home. [/QUOTE]
