That seems like a decent list. I've certainly seen worse.

you know 1 thing that no one has talked about yet- but this would take a guy that most folks were assuming would be the top coach on the market in Harmon likely off the board.

Geography versus Bball powerhouse argument for Tulane. Think they are going with BBall powerhouse. Tulane AAU though.

If Big 12 would have added Louisville and Cincinnati, when they added West Virginia, Connecticut more than likely goes to the ACC. Makes sense on the selections.

In that scenario, the ACC would've found a way to screw over UCONN a 2nd time. It's what they love to do.

ACC would invite Navy in before they vote to take in UConn. Boston College is blocking UConn from joining. For them to blocking UConn teaches them for not having a rival school up in their part of the country.

Maybe you haven't heard, but UCONN's scheduled a series of games with BC.

UConn having to go to Texas so much for all sports seems like a bad idea.

It would be no different than our current situation in the AAC.

You have it backwards. Texas having to go to UCONN. Of course UConn wouldn't care if they got an invite to a P5. They'd play baseball and hockey on the moon if it meant being in a P5.
Cheers!

Actually Comet has it backwards. Read his post again, that was what I was responding to.

Easier flight to Hartford and 15 minute drive to UConn's stadium than it is to get to ECU's stadium.

Easier drive in the car, truck, van and RV. That's how most of us college football fans do it. Other than the players, I honestly don't know any college football fan who takes a flight to a college football game. I guess they do it differently in the NE (NFL country) then we do it in mid west, south and Texas....Do you fly to the games? Where do you put the grill and other tailgating supplies? How many people fly with you?
Cheers!
