connecticut and cincinnati leaving future reference (2024)

Post: #1

We all know that they have both wanted to leave. if they do end up leaving in the future, do you think Memphis would be in the mix of leaving with them?

And if we're not would you be okay with being in the AAC without them?

So you believe we're good enough to leave with them?

I don't think it matters if we all leave together or separately.

We all will end up somewhere else in the near future. But this is pretty good for now. Very good for BB.

Wishful thinking. There is nothing to indicate that we have any chance of moving on to any of the remaining big 5 conferences any time soon. We got in the then Big East because no one else was available and they were attempting to replace lost schools and retain AQ status. Wearing blue colored glasses and hoping is not going to change reality.

People need to see UConn for what it is. A mediocre football program with a low ceiling, in a bad area, with no recruits and no national appeal; AND a basketball program that will now show its true colours, now that its HOF, huge cheat of a coach is gone.

In a couple of years; UConn's basketball program will probably be on par with Cincy's after Huggins left.

The new association name will be NCCA for National Collegiate Cartel Association.

Taking Cincy and Memphis in the Big XII would build a more contiguous conference from West VA, Ohio, TN and on to the rest
