Watching the game last night, I thought the crowd was much less impressive than the ECU-UCONN game.
Yes the ACC has FSU, Louisville, Clemson, Notre Dame but overall, the ACC does not have much on the AAC. I can see the AAC (if it holds together) one day being on a par or perhaps surpassing them with the likes of UCF, USF, Cincy, ECU, Memphis, Navy, Houston, Temple and yes UCONN. Tulsa & SMU can also get it going. Not so sure about Tulane long term. As it is playing out, there appears to be a lot more balance in the AAC.
Now if Aresco can somehow bridge the $20,000,000 gap! That is the big question. Obviously for the moola, if the ACC or B1G calls UCONN has to go. If Notre Dame does not make the playoffs and decides to opt for full membership in the ACC then the chances of UCONN entering as the 16th team appear high. Until then, I am enjoying the competition in the American! That is a mouthful considering the Big East was considered left for dead 2-3 years ago.
