Games I want to see:
FOOTBALL:
NC State (and others) vs. ECU
Pittsburgh (and others) vs. Cincinnati
Miami (and others) vs. UCF/USF
etc.
BASKETBALL:
Syracuse (and others) vs. UConn
Louisville vs. Memphis
various vs. Cincinnati
etc.
I don't think Pitt or Louisville are picking up their phones.
We may be able to get the occasional neutral game at the Garden, but I don't see either of them continuing the football series. We were actually slated to play Duke in MSG at one point, but that mysteriously changed to Butler. I don't know what the circumstances there were, but had nothing to do with UC.
In all fairness, UL already plays UK, and Pitt already plays ND every year. And there is only so much room to schedule football.

State might -- Might -- have been open to that idea when the ACC was playing a conference schedule of 7 or 8 games a season. Once they go to 9, they won't even consider it.
Well they're locked into an every 3 years home and home with us anyway.
Its understandable they might not want to play us considering they haven't beaten us this decade.

Wow, I didn't know that.
So in that case, maybe an annual game with ECU is possible, after all.

Should there be an AAC/ACC Scheduling Agreement?
Bottom of the acc is miserable just like AAC. Top would be competitive. Outside if fsu acc was poor last year. Clemson was decent but vastly overrated after beating up on terrible acc teams all year.

Like I said, its not because we're already on an every 3 year contract home and home.

I'd love it, I don't see where there is any real advantage for the ACC, however.

RE: Should there be an AAC/ACC Scheduling Agreement?
NBPirate, I knew that ECU and NCSU play occasionally. I didn't know it was every 3 years, but I knew it was frequent.
But I think the Pack is willing to schedule a "tough" OOC game vs. a non-P5 opponent on top of 8 ACC games. I don't think they're willing to do that on top of 9 ACC games.

RE: Should there be an AAC/ACC Scheduling Agreement?
It will never happen, nor do I care if it does.
As a UConn fan, I would only want to play ACC schools that I consider our peers in hoop (Duke, UNC, Louisville). As for the rest of the conference, there is nothing to gain for UConn by beating the other ACC schools and something to lose in perception if we lose to the likes of a BC, Virginia Tech, Miami, or Wake Forest.
As for football, the other ACC schools don't want to schedule UConn. It cracks me up when I go to the ACC board to see how much better ACC fans think that their football programs are than UConn's. In reality, UConn would finish no worse than mid-pack to around tenth in a 14 team ACC in any given year. That is half of the reason for these fans wanting to keep UConn out of the ACC.... some of these fans know that their school would move down a rung in the ACC conference pecking order.
