Man, we just lost an exhibition to a D2 team, and now we open with #11 Wichita State, returning 4 starters from a 35-1 that lost to UK by 2 points in the E8.

We all hope for the upset. I just hope we don't get killed.

i would settle for just getting killed. they are going to humiliate us.

We will see

Should be an AAC matchup.

This year for WSU would another set of ncaa units they would dump in the pockets of the aac.

Nice "fire for effect" post. Obviously, the AAC will never admit basketball-only schools. It didn't work in the Big East and it won't work here.

There was no Big East football conference prior to 1990, and the destruction of the conference was directly due to disagreement between basketball and football members about potential members.

OK...I'd love to be the BE from 1990-2012...I'd take that in a second.

It wasn't just football vs. basketball, it was public football vs. private basketball. The Big East as constructed today would be more likely to take Notre Dame or Boston College than it would Wichita State or VCU, both of whom would be good fits in the American as large public schools with good basketball, even if neither school ever lets a leather oblong fly on campus.
