AAC moving to Dallas?

Buh-bye providence

@BCgenius: Spies say @American_Conf moving its offices to Dallas by 2016 #NCAATournament #ncaaW

 

[Ha Who]

Coincides with the loss of the only New England program?

 

[Kolumbo]

Same building as the Big XII?

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Well, its better than Providence...

It is a Southern school conference. We are the odd ball geographically. The reason we haven't gotten into B1G or ACC is simple
We are always there for the taking. We have no where else to go. L'Ville could have gone to SEC or Big 12. We will not get into the ACC or B1G until the B1G decides where to turn next. Can they land Virginia? Do they still want NC? Make a move for New England add CT and BC or UMass. Take in CT and BYU to extend east and west. B1G holds the pocket aces and we hold the 7-2 off suit. Now, if football gets much better and Ollie goes to another Final Four, we hold 7/8 suited.

 

[Sea Goat]

We are the outlier. They are convinced we'll be gone soon - I hope they're right.

 

[The Funster]

The Big East got to keep the name but the American got stuck with the lease. How the heck did that happen?

Aresco sold them the name. They didn't want to buy the lease apparently. Check that. They did buy the lease to MSG...

The AAC kept all the money
It's actually a wealthy conference by G5 standards
Exit fees, and NCAA tourney money stayed with the AAC

After watching this leadership so far, they probably squandered it all shelling out for those child dancers during the tourney.

I hope we aren't the only people that found that really weird and disturbing

Yeah. Child dancers at a basketball tournament I think is one of those things that is universally disturbing.

Key to remember is UCONN has been in the same athletic conference since 1979. Over 35 years. The name has changed and rights were sold, but UCONN has remained.

Exactly


The truth is we are the only Original BiG East team Left.

Your point is?

 

[Adios]

It's time to be like Rutgers fans and say we're going to the B1G. The writing is freaking graffitied all over the wall. They are programming B1G fans for our addition by placing an office in NYC and propaganda.

Re: Source close to Tyler Phommachanh says UConn and Virginia to Big 10

Source says it's done.

(Tyler Phommachanh is Tim Pernetti who was the Rutgers AD at the time.)

That's always the end-game that made the most sense from the B1G's perspective. Surround NYC and DC. Then you have a little reach into Boston, you have NYC-Philly-DC-Chicago-Detroit.

That is the 1, 3, 4, 8, 11 with some push into the 7 media market.

Whether UVa is into it or not, who knows. VT can get that too.

I am (perhaps naively) convinced that UConn and one of the Virginia schools will be in the B1G at some point. It just makes too much sense for the B1G.

It makes too much sense, so you know it won't happen
