We're not wanted/needed by any P5 conference right now. It is what it is. It would be great if, as mentioned in a recent thread, all the best G5 teams remaining took matters into their own hands and formed their own conference, and hope it gets a "Power" conference billing. Until then, it's AAC for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, it's AAC for us. Anything else. Go independent and become road warriors by picking up 2-1 like they are candy (50k for 5 games is better than 7 games of 25k), blow the conference up and try to scrape together something that may interest the world by taking the best of the rest from every G5 conference or even consider dropping down further even even dropping football all together to focus on the other sports that have a legitimate path forward. What is clearly not working is to try to force the AAC P6 model down consumers throats since we are hemorrhaging money and fans by producing a product that’s far more expensive than its market value. If we were trying to claim this product as a business on our personal taxes we would be told it’s not a business but a hobby, that’s a problem at some point and when that point comes it will be changed for us if we haven’t proactively changed it ourselves. In conclusion the AAC sucks, the market does not care for it at all, to make matters worse being in the AAC is expensive, making that matter worse the AAC does not make much money, this causes us to operate at a huge deficit, losing money is bad, UCONN is paying $10 million to flee their huge AAC deficit and at some point every member of this **** show will be forced to make some difficult choice on how to deal with Wareshouses full of cds we have produced. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull's247? 1st) Personally I like App State they play good football but, Boone is tough to get to for anyone except ECU. UConn replacement? AAC needs to look for a step-up like the BYU possibility or Air Force. Now.. I cant believe that someone hasn't mentioned the 247 post about "IPF Coming Soon" (unless I missed it somewhere) I figured this comment would be a hot issue with many hard hitting opinions along with some ridicule. Possibly they see the funds from TBP are going to push it over the edge $$..? Oh well, saw that "teaser" on 247 and felt compelled to play around with it. MK, if you were the source for that leak to the 247 poster then I do apologize and await your press conference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
