Report: Uconn leaving for Big East

[79 Bull]

I agree opportunity to go mountain time. Boise and Air Force all sports plus Army football only. BYU too many issues. Having all 3 academies would be a big deal me thinks.

If you could pull it off (and they may say no). Add Army for football only then Colorado State, Air Force and New Mexico for all sports. Yes, I'm pushing our league West, even though San Diego State and UNLV are appealing, I'm not ready to go coast to coast. If you look at a map, New Mexico and Colorado are both states that touch the states in our current footprint. 

Wait a sec, McCarrsn has direct flights to pretty much anywhere in the US. ABQ? Not so easy to get in and out of. We should definitely replace New Mexico with UNLV in this scenario. They're set to start playing in the new Raiders stadium when it opens up in 2020 so they should fit right in.

Talk is about bringing in Army for football. With all due respect to the folks at West Point, Navy is enough triple option for me in one year.

Army couldn't hack it in CUSA; why would they excel in AAC?

Because CUSA at that time was better than the current AAC?

They did beat us one year at home.  I think that started the whole FireJimLeavitt.com talks.

Yet another game we couldn't stop the run.

With UConn reportedly leaving the American Athletic Conference, its time for Aresco to take the bold step of raiding the Mountain West Conference to kill of its closest G5 competition. If you really want to be part of the "P6", this move would ensure that the delta between the AAC and the P5 is smaller than the delta between the AAC and the rest of the G5.

Its time to go bring in Boise State, San Diego, State, Air Force, Colorado State and lure BYU, then form a new conference leaving the leftovers of both conferences behind. My proposal would be to split into two, seven team divisions for football and a single division for basketball. Navy would continue as a football only member and Wichita State as a non-football member.

 

Football (8 conference games)

• 6 conference games against divisional opponents (3 home, 3 away) playing each team in your division at home once every 2 years
• 2 conference games against cross-divisional opponents (1 home, 1 away) playing each team in the other division once every 3 years, and once at home every 6 years
• Conference championship would be held at the site of the school with the best conference record

Basketball (16 conference games)

• 10 conference games against 10 opponents (5 home, 5 away)
• 6 conference games against 3 opponents (3 home, 3 away)

 

I prefer to just get an invite to a P5 conference and be done with it ........ and both scenarios have about the same probability.

You put a lot of thought into that.  If only...
