UConn's athletic program will die in the AAC, so I think you should just drop this hobby horse. For the past few years its been Death, Taxes and tzznandrew suggesting UConn can survive in this hellhole of a league despite the fact that they don't have the support or money to do so.

No it won't. It will suffer, which is why almost everyone here wants out, but it won't die.

The athletic department might die if football goes independent.

The basketball team will be playing in front of 6-8k people on a regular basis and the football program will be lucky to draw 25k if we are still in this league in 4 years.

Maybe, maybe not. But that will have more to do with the fans and how UConn programs compete. The fact that our fan base has driven up the ticket price of a regional semifinal so it dwarfs the price of final four tickets speaks volumes (although that could change if a certain Northeast team makes the final four). Memphis draws nearly 17,000 regardless of conference and opponent. The NBE isn't the answer, Georgetown attendance was down nearly 17% and it's going to get worse. An indy schedule in football could yield an even drearier schedule, but few would know because you would never see us on TV. Even if we secure games with a handful of P5 teams, the balance of the schedule would be bleak. You can pretty much rule out any legit post season bowl. The long term solution is to join a P5 conference, and for now, the university is going about the right way. We need to win. Our athletes are up to the challenge. You, not so much.

Louisville. Holy crap, I forgot Louisville. Louisville is a great reason to stay in the AAC. We will have a tremendous rivalry with Louisville over the next 20 years in this hellhole of a conference. You have made the greatest argument in the history of the Boneyard with this post. I can't give you enough likes for it, so I won't give you any.

You forget a lot. Have you been tested for dementia?

Making fun of dementia. Funny stuff.
