Classy act to stoop to his level by calling out Providence, a school that he/she may or may not be a fan of and actually has had 20+ wins the past 2 years.

Not to mention a national hockey championship this past season! And some Uconn fans wonder why they get ripped on these boards? See Exhibit A.

And here you are like a moth to a flame on the UConn troll thread. And some BC fans wonder why they get ripped on these boards.

Speaking of hockey, which team was it that led Hockey East in attendance last year? That would be UConn.

Ah yes, hockey attendance. Uconn, in its inaugural year, had an average attendance of 5,396 per game in a former pro arena. It had 14 home games. It filled 34% of said arena. Boston College, in an off-year for BC, averaged 5,221 fans per game, filling 66% of its arena on average. It had 18 home games. Yes, Uconn had an average 175 fans more than BC per game. Congrats!

But hey, if you want to tout that 175 fan per game edge, I guess it makes the differences in football attendance, where BC draws thousands more per game than Uconn, all the more revealing, right?

Oh, and yes, I do sometimes jump into threads when I think someone takes a gratuitous and unnecessary shot at another school. This isn't the echo chamber in the BY where you guys rip other schools at will, with no push back. Other than that, I tend to stay out of these food fights.

How on earth is the a thread a thread where UConn rips other schools at will with no push back. Your first post was calling out a UConn poster for saying the OP is a PC fan which is true never mid Okielite and Rabbit in red who has admitted to being a UConn troll several times.

The first negative post aside from the OP was actually yours on page 3

He has inside numbers that show cable systems added SNY to some basic package, paying some $2.50 per sub. There's no question that Uconn would easily get on a basic cable package considering it offers content in football, men's and women's basketball, and even hockey. Those are all different fanbases, and each one is huge in Connecticut. So there is some merit to the proposition that Uconn could make more money on a cable subscriber basis than Oklahoma.

Additionally, Uconn makes more than Oklahoma on tier 3 rights and merchandising/IMG Nike. Fun fact: Uconn women's basketball made 40% as much in Tier 3 media revenue as Oklahoma football.

Another fun fact: more people saw Uconn women's basketball play on tv than Oklahoma football.

So you can see the arrogance of Uconn fans.

OkieLite just so you're clear this guy is not a UConn fan, so you're venom is completely misdirected.

Venom? Read my post again. The first line specifically.

This board is a f-ckin' joke.

It cracks me up with entitlement 5 teams brag about how they aren't subsidized by their respective universities and then look down on G5 schools who are...well dude, give us a 25million per year per team tv payout and we wouldn't have to subsidize either.

to make this even more laughable...one the one hand you guys rip G5's for being subsidized by the university and then turn around and look at G5 schools as not being committed to athletics...hahaha

you can't have it both ways dude.


and let's see what you do with a 1 mil tv contract vs 25 mil and instead of home slate games of Texas, Oklahoma, and etc you have a FULL home slate of Tulane's, new Mexico's, and Troy's.

You guys have mega tv deals, big time home conference games against big time ranked teams and then brag about both how you don't subsidize and also your attendance...well no crap. I would hope you would have low/no subsidy and great attendance. Let's not even get into the fact the by winning a P5 conference you get a contract bowl (not so for the G5's).

1) UConn is ranked higher than Oklahoma academically.
2) Other than football, UConn athletics blows away Oklahoma athletics.
3) Connecticut is a better place to live than Oklahoma.

1) Oklahoma football beats Connecticut football.

Well, three out of four ain't bad.

Thanks for proving my point for me. The UConn delusion knows no end.

Like I said before, OU can go anywhere it wants and UConn has no choice where it goes. You can make up all sorts of ridiculous crap like you have been but it won't change the reality of your situation.

YOur AD has 6 mens NC's in its' history. Ou has 25 mens NC's including 7 in Football. Not to mention OU's AD has nearly double the budget of UCOnn welfare AD that forces the taxpayers to pay for it because the fan support and ticket sales are terrible.

Oklahoma is growing at a much faster rate and includes 2 of the highest rated college football TV markets in the country. UConn has extremely slow growth and is in the middle of a tax hike that is sending jobs out of state including the possibility of ESPN leaving along with several other corporate giants who are already planning to leave the state. Connecticut does not care about college football like Oklahoma. On a typical Saturday in Oklahoma there will be over 150k people at the 3 FBS teams in the state. In Connecticut they are lucky of 25k will show up. Thus why you are in a conference with the #3 team in Oklahoma who happens to be one of the smallest schools in the country who play FBS football but has similar attendance playing the exact same schedule you play.

LOL. Must suck having old Okielite make a fool of you.

If NIU brings a good recruiting ground and a TV market which they can deliver then you add them.

There's no guarantee that NIU would want to join the AAC if, for example, UCF and USF go to the Big 12. The western wing may look towards the MWC. So schools like NIU have to be careful that they don't get into a situation that could harm their program.

A 14 member AAC with an eastern wing of: Uconn, Umass, Buffalo, Temple, Navy, ECU, maybe New Hampshire? if they can be convinced to join, and then a southern wing of ECU, Florida Atlantic, FIU, Georgia Southern, SMU, Houston, Rice looks awfully attractive.

what about Tulane?

The good news is that pretty soon BE4evah can get back to watching Providence get their doors blown off on FS1 along with the other 14 viewers that are tuned in.

Yeah, they left off Northern Illinois and East Carolina as possible Big 12 targets. N. Illinois have the tv ratings, and the tv market. East Carolina keeps winning over P5 schools, fan support, and have the ratings.

If McMurphy is saying this, it has a leg to stand on. I'm still not sure the Big 12 isn't in a big time crisis at this point. I don't know that adding two or more "random" schools is going to save them long-term. What I do know is that the Big 12 is not in a position to poach from another P5 conference. Memphis, Cincy, UCF, USF, Tulane, ECU all have to look like fairly viable candidates. Houston if it weren't in Texas but say Louisiana or Arkansas would probably look pretty decent to them as well, but I can't see them going to 5 Texas schools. One of their biggest problems is not only being the smallest and least united P5 conference, but rather having a very small population base outside of Texas. Getting into some combination of Louisiana, Tennessee, Ohio, Florida or North Carolina would help with that especially among that last 3.

You got to wonder what Chicago market will do if Northern Illinois also on the list. The money making is not how many tickets you sell now. It is tv viewership.

I do so love how this fact gets overlooked so casually by fans but is Memphis' saving grace for B12 inclusion

That's a consideration. Realistically the Chicago market is Big Ten and Notre Dame dominated. DePaul if they were doing well would get some interest during basketball season. But putting the Big 12 close in like that might be interesting at least when Okie and Texas were coming to town for football or Kansas for basketball.

NIU is the closest D1 football playing public university to Chicago, adding a program that has had success that close to the Big 10 HQ (nw suburb Rosemont, IL) would be a nice shot at the Big 10.

Damn right it would be =)

NIU definitely brings a market and a great football team. It would be a great trump card for the AAC in tv contract negotiations. The third highest market? Yes please.

If NIU gets a shot out of the MAC for the AAC even if it's a slightly diluted AAC, you take it and run. The MAC is showing some weakness lately with akron and kent st, the AAC has: more money, better bowls, better competition, and is a generally better viewed conference. No brainer.

Bunch of stuck up Yankees who think they are more valuable than they really are with ridiculous gun laws and no energy industry do not fit at all. Another reason they dont' fit is everybody in the BIg 12 has less than 10% subsidy, UConn has 30%.

I do love checking in on the BY. The recent discussion about UConn being worth more to a conference network than OU was one of the most delusional conversations I have witnessed on a realignment board. Right behind UConn believing they are going to get in the B1G when they don't' even meet entrance requirements and won't for the foreseeable future. It's just ridiculous. They said it was because Connecticut has higher per capita income than Oklahoma and more people can afford cable. Nevermind the fact that on a average SAturday there are 150K+ people attending FBS games in Oklahoma and only about 25k in Connecticut.

For those of us who are realistic there is only 1 chance for UConn to join a power conference. That is in the ACC as a backfill team. If Virginia, V-Tech, UNC, and Duke leave they probably have a good shot at being added with Memphis and Cinci. But if that happens I"M not sure how many ACC schools would be left so it would probably resemble the AAC 2.0.

Say Virginia and V-TEch join the B1G. UNC and Duke join the SEC. FSU, Miami, Clemson, NCSt, GaTech, and Louisville join the Big 12. And Notre Dame, Pitt, BC, and Syracuse join the PAC. In that scenario I can totally see UConn getting an ACC invite.

The reality is that UConn has been measured and weighed by Conferences and TV partners. At this point they might as well join the Big East and go indy with Football.

We Yankees fight with our fists like real men. We don't hide behind guns like all the boys in Oklahoma who are afraid to scuff up their purdy little cowboy boots in an actual fight. It is easier (and more cowardly) just to pull a firearm.

In that scenario, I'll bet on the ones with the guns to win.
