Is this gripe from Uconn fans legitimate re AAC's effect on soccer?
I don't follow college soccer all that much, so when generalizations are made I don't want to jump to a hasty conclusion.

For those that follow college soccer, a Uconn fan wrote:


The first effects of the AAC on our athletic programs is being felt in soccer. Men's soccer was unseeded as a top 10 team last year and failed to get in as a regular season champion this year. UConn women's soccer reward for winning the AAC tournament was a 2nd round game with a 2 seed.

The soccer programs will never every cent of the money from Rizza to compensate for the anchor known as the AAC.

Dude, are you serious with this? Go check yourself into a mental institution and find out why you are terrified and scarred by UCONN, maybe then you will find some peace.

Yeah it's really hurt the #22 ranked UCF women's soccer team who beat Georgia last week, and #9 ranked and 4th seeded Wisconsin this week, on their way to the sweet sixteen. It's turrible and bad.

To be fair, moving from the old Big East to the AAC is going to hurt the non-revenue programs at UConn and Cincy and USF and maybe the C7 schools.

Remember that argument about how the basketball schools are DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED because our name isn't out there during football season? That's negated in basketball because basketball recruits eat sleep and live basketball and basketball media, so they don't really need to hear "Villanova" in the spring and summer to know Villanova.

It's not going to matter much for UConn's womens' hoops either. Because girls' basketball players know the UConn program.

But non-revenue sports don't get any media coverage. A soccer player or a lacrosse or track star from say Albany NY is liable to see UConn's list of opponents and be a little disappointed, compared to say the Rutgers schedule (or even the Seton Hall schedule) of schools whose name he knows because of football (and/or basketball.)

I'm going to amend that, because Mr Lacrosse probably knows Georgetown, Villanova, Butler, maybe St Johns and Creighton in the Big East (depends how much he likes basketball), probably knows UCF and now ECU football, Cincinnati for both, Memphis basketball, probably Temple basketball.

Compared to the Rutgers or Syracuse opponents, where he knows every school.

Ignore the OP. He has some kind of mental issue with UConn. Maybe his student application was denied; I don't know the exact cause of his pain, but most of his time is spent trolling UConn.
