**** little aresco. He should have had the foresight to get some representation on the selection committee. Everyone wants out of this conference except Tulane and Tulsa. They're going to help SOS.

I know ppl hate on Aresco, but he's a great ambassador for the conference that understands exposure and talking points.

Too long to watch but...
UConn fans generally take it as an omen when we're not considered an AAC school.

seriously though - why would you treat this as anything other than we are pissed and big changes need to be made? Forget SMU for a second =- UL number 4 seed? Three of our four teams in the same zone? Obviously designed to knock ourselves out. THat has GOT to be called out, and if not by him then by whom? Sometimes it ok to be mad - this is well justified and i can't believe he is rolling over like a little girl.

He criticized the slighting of UCONN, Memphis, Louisville and Cincinnati and said SMU has no one to blame but themselves. Never seen him genuinely pissed.
RE: Aresco Talks NCAA tourney & SMU, AAC Respect and Paying Athletes - UofMemphis - 03-17-2014 10:16 PM
So what was he supposed to say.
RE: Aresco Talks NCAA tourney & SMU, AAC Respect and Paying Athletes - gostangs - 03-17-2014 10:51 PM
he is supposed to say that he finds the decisions of the selection committee outrageous, that UL should be no worse than a 2 seed, ACC teams should be spread out in at least three geographic areas and SMU should be in. He should say coming to that combination when there was no AAC representative on the committee leaves the committee open for criticism of being unfair - to the point of corruption. Obviously it was a money grab by the ACC. The system needs to change - so that the top 10 ranked basketball conferences have a member each - and any changes in conference affiliations that would alter that would lead to new members being added such that there was always representation by those minimum number of conferences.

He did without saying so directly.
RE: Aresco Talks NCAA tourney & SMU, AAC Respect and Paying Athletes - UofMemphis - 03-17-2014 11:24 PM
Like Rick Pitino..."I don't get into the politics........but we're gonna be a one seed" (not an exact quote)

Not true dude. Smu is much more likely to stay AAC than Tulane. You have one good season in basketball and you start referencing tulane as some sick little puppy. Back off. SMU is the same as tulane bud. Same boat same conference same, sane, same, except one other thing. You are in Texas with nine other D1 schools. Tulane helps with geography moves for Big 12, Big, ACC. I'm looking forward to AAC yes. And hope we build a good conference. Dude as I'm typing I'm thinking of all the times we beat your ass in basketball. Man how quickly you forget. And Tulsa has owned you in almost every sport. Geez

why don't you wait until your school has actually played ONE GAME in the AAC before talking.

I might have an even bigger beef with this than SMU getting left out. Pretty much kills the ability to maximize revenues.

I didn't start it. I'm being respectful. I always talk well of other teams unless flamed. Thanks
