Should I follow?
Yes. This is by far the closest thing we will get to a "key tweet" here. Now and into the future.

Mark Anderson of LV Review-Journal has good sources on conference realignment. http://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/football/peace-now-change-coming-college-sports…
Change is coming in about 10 years when the TV contracts begin to expire and after various lawsuits regarding athletes’ rights are settled. This change could make the most recent rounds of realignment look tamer than Tiger Woods on a Sunday in a major.
“It won’t be just the power five (conferences), it will be 90 to 100 schools,” said Dennis Dodd, national college football columnist for CBSSports.com. “It won’t be the 65 (major colleges) there are now. It won’t be realignment, but separation. The key is will there be enough schools, enough money and enough power to arrange the basketball tournament? They know they can do it in football.”
“I think it’s going to settle in the next 10 years,” Dodd said, “and then you’ll see the separation of the haves and have-nots.”
90-100? There are 25 non-P5 teams right now ahead of UConn in line? I can't think of five.No doubt UConn is in that 90-100 category
I can assure you with 100% confidence I am not upstater, nor his opposite.
That I have no feelings about Tom Brady at all is your proof.

I'm sure Desi will jump right on it.I would like to see a CT reporter interview Dodd on what he knows and what he is speculating, and where he sees UConn in a decade.
It seems to me that most G5 programs trying to keep up with the P5 will struggle, and that the separation has already begun.I don't see how we can afford 10 years of the same. We will run out of money before then.
A strictlyHypothetical, no need to get upsetAnd I'll strangle him with his own intestines if he puts me in the same sentence as HFD again.
I think our esteemed Mr Aresco is banking on a bigger payday next contract.I don't see how we can afford 10 years of the same. We will run out of money before then.
I won't be surprised if there's no movement for 5-10 years, I've been saying that for some time that UConn should anticipate that scenario and use the time to get football up to par and hopefully continue to improve academically and add research infrastructure. Hard thing will be enduring year after year of "UConn should drop football and move to the Big East" rabble although maybe in a couple years that league will be more widely recognized for the scrap heap it is. (How good will the BE be when Jay Wright eventually takes a P5 job?)
It's the bridge to P5. The Big East is the bridge to turning into Providence West.The really hard thing will be enduring year after year of posters saying that being in a southern mid major conference with bad basketball is a good idea for UConn.

No, the hard thing will be listening to you make this stupid point for another year or 2. Go root for PC or Creighton if you're so sold on the Big East.
Or tell us again that Byron Jones isn't athletic enough for the P5.

Why don't you root for Tulane or Tulsa if you think the AAC is such a great spot for UConn? I bet 90% of UConn fans could not get within 50 miles of Tulsa if they were given a blank map of Oklahoma and asked to mark where Tulsa is.

I don't think people are saying the AAC is a great spot for UConn (at least I hope they're not). What I am hearing, and agree with, is the AAC is a better option than moving all olympic sports to the BE and taking footbal to Independant status, downgrading back to FCS, or dropping it.Why don't you root for Tulane or Tulsa if you think the AAC is such a great spot for UConn?
