Yeah, I think they thought they could build a football brand off of their basketball brand.
It's just too hard to do for them.

Mini conference realignment coming? UConn may be moving to the Big East.

Hmm. Dropping football? AAC football only?

This article says AAC highly unlikely. Maybe independent

In other words expect a scheduling announcement soon. BYU seems to actually care about their independent brothers.

It’s not completely altruistic. It helps us too.

No they just know that other indy's are desperate to schedule games.

Also from that article - UCONN AD had a $41 million deficit in 2018. How?!

Because their most popular program is still one that brings in very little money

Doesn't help that they were FCS til 2000 and weren't even that great as FCS.

If they’re losing that much money and now don’t have a conference they should drop back down

I know it's hindsight and that the football bubble wasn't crazy then like it is now but that seems like a bad call

New England and New York also are weak college football markets. Much bigger pro

I think they were hoping to capitalize on the fact that Hartford has no teams in NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL/MLS

Indy isnt helping us go to p5 . What do we lose being in the aac?
Deleted
6/22/19 11:37am
Besides money, boosters, coaches, players, fans, good schedules, and TV contract?

Money is all guesses. Our pool of coaches remains the same

We aren't recruiting better to want p5 schedules without any benefit of p5

False. You think Grimes is coming to coach a G5 school for half the money?

BYU should at least go AAC in all but football. The WCC is a big Joke.
