I think UConn and Cuse just assumed that they'd still have wild success no matter where they went. They are now realizing that conference affiliation has a huge impact on success and relevance.

Perhaps S'cuse n UConn would bounce back as top tier teams in short order to bolster the leagues perception as a top conference. The Robinites will have circle up after 2 or more teams sign up...oh well - no great loss as the robinites can watch KU & the little 9.

Hell if we're going pie in the sky here let me tell you my never gonna happen fantasy.

We add BC, Cuse, Wake, Duke, Vandy & Notre Dame. A 16 team private school conference that dominates from the mid atlantic to the mid west.

Drink deeply from the gtmo kool-aid. Soon you'll be dreaming of CU Nattys and 4 Big East teams in the F4 every year, too.

FWIW, I ran into some UConn fans when I took my kids to Disney World. They were pretty sad about the AAC and would drop football in a heartbeat to come back to us. Called it a colossal waste of money that still hasn't paid off.

How can you Put UConn/Syracuse in the same sentence as Bonnies/Louis... that just sounds wrong... there is no way Bonnies and St. Louis belong in this conference right now. That would a major step down...
