I'm a big fan of the AAC. However, the conference is an issue. We went from games we had played against teams for years even in other sports, to in year 4 of this league, playing a conference opponent for the 1st time in our history. The diehards show up regardless of opponent the casuals need a reason. Hard to get amped for Tulsa and ECU. Nothing against those programs obviously but the conference has been an issue though I think it's more a function of going from BCS to G5.The Big East years occurred when we had talent. We had a fun team to watch.
The AAC years have been when we fielded a relatively slow, small, and less athletic team.
The problem is mostly us, not our conference. But if the conference is a problem at all (even a little bit), then shame on the fans. The AAC is a decent conference. If it's underappreciated in Connecticut, that's pathetic.
