A week ago I attended a large meeting re UConn FB hosted by the AD and featuring UConn's new/old FB coach, Randy Edsell. The investment in FBS FB is enormous.....can't be understood, really, starting from a Dayton-style BB centric point of view. Absolutely, positively, UD has got to stay away from any involvement with FBS FB schools. It can kill you! Their fundamental interests are entirely different from ours.

Agreed. Sounds like the AAC wants to be the new, old Big East v2.0 with the hybrid model. Only with less prestige and worse geography. No way this thing lasts as UConn and Cincy will jump at the first opportunity and we'll be left holding the bag. We're best sticking it out in the A10 and looking to work to make the league better while waiting for the call from the Big East (which may or may not ever come, but that's the only jump we should make).
