He is going to give it his all to put this conference on the map and it will be a constant uphill battle. Best thing we have going for us while we are here.

The AAC is not a terrible conference - IF - the money were relatively equal to the P5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AAC is not a terrible conference - IF - the money were relatively equal to the P5 Well as Aresco said, we have to earn that respect. Hate to say it but UCF and UCONN pulled their weight in the that regard last year. We NEED to repeat that this year with our teams. At least 1 upper bowl and 1 basketball champ or several strong basketball contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along the lines of take away two or three teams from the so called power conferences, and everyone else is just collecting a paycheck.

He was initially talking semantics, insulted that after last years Fiesta and BB championships that the AAC wasn't considered a power conference. His suggestion they rename themselves should be a contest for the TBP. Rename The Power 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then he said we (the BE) were worthy of a BILLION dollar contract. Everybody rolled their eyes and went and got theirs. Months after his bold proclamation, he secured us pennies on the dollar and we were getting stiffed by the likes of SDSU. Not trying to be a troll, but Aresco's specialty was TV and he screwed the pooch. I think he's in over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
