Report: Uconn leaving for Big East

[Brad]

There is a thread on the AAC board started prior to this.  Will merge later.

Dissolution is the only suitable solution. UConn was one half of the only part of the conference I actually knew.

We could add umass in all sports. This would fix the hole uconn leaves. Another option would be to add one of the military schools as football only and then add someone else for the Olympia sports including basketball. As far as the women’s tourney goes might as well have to top seed host it once uconn leaves

Let’s talk possible replacement 

As in should we replace the AAC with the BEAST as well?

Army football Only and VCU basketball and Olympic sports. There we're done.

Sucks for me...this was the one game I could always make every other year. I wonder if UMass will get a look now? I like Army possibility too. Of course we could just stay at 11 and get rid of the divisions. Last, Will Espn require a refund unless we add? 

[puc86]

Follow UConns lead and go back to the Beast for all other sports and go independent in football too, the only thing worse than being in the AAC is being one of only two ******* teams that were in the BEAST still stuck in this ******* pergatory.

Nope, still the cream of a sh$$ty G5 crop in football and a solid basketball conference.  Some conference money is better than none unless you are ND.

The only way UMass is added is if the State of Massachusetts merges the UMass system and designates Stores (Where the Football Program is located) as it's Primary School and makes the rest their affiliates. I don't see that happening.

I know the AAC got a little bump last round but the Beast basketball contract was on par with our entire media package the last time I had checked.
