Who should AAC Add

[CTBballfan243]

If Houston, Cincy, and Memphis leave for the B12 who would you like to see the conference add? I think Marshall, UMass, and one of the MAC schools will be added. Maybe Northern Illonois.

Don't ever mention the names Marshall, UMass, or the MAC ever again regarding UConn.

We're going to have to add maybe 3 teams. The Pickens will be slim, but it is what it is.

Option D: quit playing sports altogether.

Does it matter? If three to four of UC, Memphis, Houston, and UCF leave the AAC is no longer a viable home for us. Seeking to put football in the Mountain West and all sports in the Big East would be our best option. Let's hope it doesn't get there.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Let's hope, but I fear I have seen this act before.

Who back in May predicted the ACC would be in play this summer?

Yeah a thousand people knew it, etc blah, blah

As recent as this morning people were giving me crap about it.

Yes, finally UConn is in the driver's seat. Mostly circumstance - but my Providence dude says Mike T working the phones !

You keep focusing on AAC adds while the rest of us fry bigger fish.

I'm surprised the ACC would let the B12 grab UConn and plant another conference flag in the Northeast. You would think they would want to grab us before the B12. Plus, with the ACC network launching, you would think UConn content would be good for ratings. Who knows, maybe our good friends at ESPN told the ACC that we weren't going anywhere.

ODU, UTSA and maybe UMass. ODU and UMass are probably in contact, as is.

Minium: Big 12 expansion could have huge impact on ODU and Conference USA

 

[uchusky32]

Maine, New Hampshire, Delaware

Time to put this thread out of it's misery.

 

[MattMang23]

Personally, I'd like to see us play a Yankee Conference schedule in all sports. Because my Give-A-Fruck Level at that point would not allow me to care whether it was Maine or Middle Tennessee St., New Hampshire or Northern Iowa, Vermont or University of Vancouver, on the playing surface before me.

 

[XStorrsion]

Well this is a sad game. But recent Big 12 talks brought me back here so I might as well play.

How about, the AAC goes for broke and decides to be the best lower tier division. Assuming Cincinnati, UConn, and Houston leave, I vote for:

North
Temple
Memphis
Navy
Army
ODU
Buffalo
UMass
Northern Illinois

South
UCF
USF
ECU
Tulane
Tulsa
SMU
Rice
Southern Miss


At least there could be some academic respect for the conference and it would be behind conferences 1-5 by many miles but at least it would solidly be #6.

Sorry, would have replied sooner but when I read your post I felt like I was going to puke, so it seemed like a good time for a break.

Louisiana Lafayette
James Madison
Marshall
Army
UMass
Northern Illinois

 

[TRest]

Bates, Bowdoin and Colby.

If it came to that then the administration would have to go all-in to be able to put basketball in the Big East. If we are forced to stay in the AAC for all sports (with the other schools leaving) then we will inevitably become a mid-major which is sad to see.

Not happening. What's the gain in leaving the NESCAC for the AAC??
