lol, wut? UConn is jumping into a football abyss with a smile on their face all to benefit mens/womens hoops...that's not something schools like Cincy, Houston, UCF, Memphis, Temple, USF, etc are willing to do.

Its like people don't understand the uniqueness of this situation. UConn isn't running off to join a P5 conference. They're making a lateral move into a nearby regional basketball conference that they have historical ties to. Their willingness to make this move says more about UConn's financial situation then it does about the AAC. They're admins have basically read the writing on the wall and concluded that their FBS football experiment is failed, so they're pulling the plug. Overall I can understand the motives and logic behind the move and it's probably the best thing for UConn in the short run, but it in the long run it almost guarantees they'll never be invited into the ACC (which is where they really want to be and probably should be).

You've got to remember that the La Tech fan generating all of these fake news posts is literally obsessed with the AAC. Every mention of the AAC on this board comes with a post from this La Tech fan, finding any way possible to throw around insults about the conference and largely as a way to deflect away from La Tech's shortcomings. I think he's defensive that no one has even whispered La Tech as an AAC candidate.
