UMass & AAC

[Zissou]

Please. Don't you have some game to attend at the Palestra? Thats the farthest VU will go in college athletics history.

2 games at the Palestra this year, @Penn and @ La Salle. It's a great venue for a couple of games.

I saw somewhere that the recent Nova history is pretty good too!

It's their last year in the Big East.

If your conference sponsors the sport in which you participate, you can't play that sport in another conference.

The Big East was and is happy to accommodate others in minor sports, and it's fine to get your own field hockey up and running in the AAC.

BTW UCONN field hockey left the Big East for the AAC.

You cannot change facts to your liking. Why is UConn field hockey playing in the Big East tournament next weekend if they are in the AAC?

This is the last season they will be in the BE. The AAC will be sponsoring field hockey, which they currently do not.

It's their last year in the Big East.

You sure you guys aren’t arguing over AAC Women’s Lacrosse which is starting in 2019?

I don’t remember the AAC announcing a new Field Hockey Conference since Temple and UConn? are the only schools w/ FHOCY

I think you are right.

UMass is not getting into the American.

Anything that dilutes revenue share is a non-starter.

Agree and maybe we better leave cuz right now we are a drag on the conference!

 

[LBird33]

Does the loss on Saturday mean the Big Ten will want UMass now instead of UConn?

No but I did hear the MAC doesn’t want us either

Don’t confuse performance with value.

I could be wrong but I believe the confusion is as simple as Rob not having any idea what he's talking about and just saying things as fact which are completely false. It's a CR board staple.

Place is best during day time.

4 (+11) > 3.

The field hockey team competes in the Big East. There is no field hockey in the AAC.

@Huskymedic and @ASweet3781 are right. UConn field hockey and women's lacrosse have been in the Big East since the formation of the AAC. Starting in the spring of 2019, the AAC will be sponsoring women's lacrosse, composed of four AAC teams plus Florida and Vanderbilt. I haven't heard anything of the AAC sponsoring field hockey as a sport, so for now UConn field hockey stays in the Big East.
