He must be screaming and throwing up right now
I was thinking about Memphis too…. there’s no way they can stay in that conference but I have no clue where they could move toImagine we didn’t get into the Big East and got stuck in a gutted AAC…Memphis is in serious trouble right now.
That's exactly what would've happened and posters on the football board are pissed Benedict got us back in the Big East.Imagine we didn’t get into the Big East and got stuck in a gutted AAC…Memphis is in serious trouble right now.
Do you think the Big 12 would have taken us? Obviously it’s great to have the safety of the big east, but seeing Cincy, Houston and UCF stumble into a $25m payday stings a lotThat's exactly what would've happened and posters on the football board are pissed Benedict got us back in the Big East.
dont see penny and his HOF assistants sticking around to coach in CUSA 2.0 and what players are circling their calendars for the grudge match against tulsa?!I was thinking about Memphis too…. there’s no way they can stay in that conference but I have no clue where they could move to
Pac12 wouldn’t make sense, Big10 & SEC are packed already, Big12 just took their pick of 4 schools, that really only leaves the ACC or Big East w/ independent football, and neither of those make a ton of sense either. It’s gonna be interesting to see what they do now
lol given the state of the footbal program we've never been further from a p4.5 invite. remember the existential terror you felt once we were headed for the aac? well multiply that by 100 if you wanna know what being on the brink of joining the A10 would feel like right now.Do you think the Big 12 would have taken us?

Post/handleHate it. I know lots of you guys love to hate on the AAC, but I personally loved rooting for them in football
There isn't. Kansas in the future Big XXII is akin to UConn in the AAC, without the championship success (including non-revenue sports). The Big XXII's money faucet slows to a drip after OU and UT take off.He's not wrong though that these schools were not P5 worthy, and now they are.
That being said, I don't think there is a P5 anymore.
We moved on.Aresco to our fans when he said deal with it..........the AAC, right after he sold away Uconn's SNY contract to ESPN.
From the Courant :
"His advice for UConn fans holding the current AAC up against the old Big East and lamenting the drop in revenue, rivalries and prestige: It's time to move on. "First of all, I want to be sensitive to those opinions, and I do understand those comparisons," he said. "But I do think at some point, in life and everything, you have to move on and you have to accept what you have "
hmmm, how'd that work out for ya, Mike ?
