There are time I wonder if UConn had it right to some degree. Would UC be better off if itreconstituted Big East football with this group and had access to Big East basketball.

Cincinnati, Marshall, UConn, Temple, Buffalo, Army, Navy, and UMass.

Dude, don't fall for the UConn propaganda machine. 2 + 2 is never going to =5 .

We are MUCH better off running with Houston, Memphis, UCF, Navy, and heck, even the SMU's of the world. These are all legit programs with the resources and history to hang in the college football world.

The AAC has a decent core of schools that could make this P6 thing work if there is no more realignment.

Just because our filler teams aren't real... palatable... doesn't mean the good teams can't advance their cause. There just weren't enough of the "best of the rest" to fill out a conference, so we end up with the Tulsa's and Tulane's.

However, I'd still rather have Tulane than UMass or Buffalo.

We don't need a filled visitor's section. Just get 40K UC fans in there.

I would rather have Buffalo and Marshall over Tulane and Tulsa. That would be two road games that you can drive too. Still miss the regional nature of the Big East and the lack of exposure on the east coast. I hate that UC is a southern conference. Go national or give us a few more northern teams.

Well I think we all miss the days of being in a conference with Pitt, Louisville and WVU. That was ideal.

But right now I think we have to stick with the people who can also get to where we want to go with us, rather than just get with the people who are located around us.

To Marshall and Buffalo, I would have to quote U.N. Jefferson in saying that we cant let you in our conference because... you're nerds.
