We are going to miss them, and badly.

you are truly post like a weak minded idiot. they didnt win ****. they are gonna be a biotch in the acc. just like usf will be in the aac, or that joke of a college you work for southern, or lsu or all the other schools that have your kiss of death. the big east was worthless and weak. i am glad we got rid of the dead weight in the new cusa. south florida should be in the sunbelt. they add nothing.

btw as far as basketball goes, i asked 5 people who won the nc. not a damn one of them knew. i also asked them if they had heard of south florida. they all said yes, but did not know it was a univeristy.

i doubt it...UofL, like UC finds a way to win in the end

except you both lost.... i dont know what you do together " in the end"

but i am sure i would say ewww.

memphis needs more dbag fans like you

Pot meet kettle.

Congrats to Louisville on a good year.

That said, as an alumnus of UCF, I wouldn't trade our BCS Fiesta Bowl trophy - and win over the Big 12 Champion - for some arbitrary "top athletic program" bragging title. I'd much rather be in UCONN's shoes as well. (and I'm sure most Card fans would agree)

The Cardinals have contended in most of the sports. While it's never fun to replace a program, the AAC will do so collectively, with a variety of programs picking up the slack in the sports they excel in.

yep. Keep on telling yourself losing Louisville is no big deal.

I coulda sworn Houston just made a Super Regional. It's just too bad that the committee cowtowed to the almighty dollar instead of basing the venue site on resume.

If Houston had been given a host site and Louisville's opponent, it'd be the Coogs in Omaha. As it stands, UH's win AT LSU was the most impressive win in the AAC post season thus far.

We lost Louisville 2 years ago. The discussion has moved beyond that now. The fact of the matter is, UL hasn't carried the AAC this year in either of the major sports. The fact that the discussion no longer revolves around UL being the lynchpin of FB and BB BEFORE they have taken off that AAC patch is SIGNIFICANT.

We don't have to look for a cornerstone in those sports. It's much easier to fill positions 2-4 with programs on their way up.

Sunshine???

The last I looked the AAC is the ONLY conference with a BCS win and teams in the Men's Final Four, Women's Final Four and the College World Series.

That's a fact any time of day (even when the sun goes down)

The AAC is going to be fine.
Louisville is going to be fine.

Im nervous though, I believe this conference is going to grow our teams to good..
I think a lot of our schools could make the P5's thirsty soon.

Many have great potential.

Funny comment directed at a UCF fan...who's conf preseason #4 ranking not only won the AAC but beat Louisville on their home field as a 17 pt underdog...and then went on to win the BCS Fiesta Bowl over the Big 12 Champ.

Congrats for making it to the Final 8 in baseball...I'm sure all of those UL Football Boosters are impressed.

Yes UofL had a great two year run. I'm happy for them and their fans. This will however, impact the American less then you believe. Our current TV contract was made with the knowledge that UofL was gone already so, It's not going to impact there. Our tournament and bowl agreements were made with the knowledge that UofL would be gone so no impact there.

I honestly do not understand why when someone makes a positive post about this conference that you have to in a minor way agree then with your backhand disagree by sighting every thing possble that could diminish the conference.

I'm not trying to pick a fight.

It seems like you are. You are reading way too much into my comments. I was just noting how much the AAC depended on Louisville on the field this year.

I am well aware that our bowl and TV ties do not include them, was talking just about on field stuff.

As for whether we end up missing them on the field or not, time will tell. Let's hope USF can be the ones to pick up their slack, eh? :@

Posted from my mobile device using the CSNbbs App

Yep, because those 2013 Louisville men's & women's national championships in basketball, along with their BCS bowl win really helped boost this conference. Stop hogging all the coffee.

Poor bearcat. I wish you guys luck. The only chance for you to join big boy's table is to convince SEC to expand. SEC is the only conference that can make big move now. And old Big East schools can be easily swayed if SEC calls.

SEC North:

Syracuse
Pittsburgh
Cincinnati
Louisville
Kentucky
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Missouri
Two of three (Kansas, West Virginia or UConn)


SEC South:

Florida
Georgia
South Carolina
Alabama
Auburn
Mississippi
Mississippi State
LSU
Arkansas
Texas A&M

Basically you need to convince SEC to expand to north in order to make Missouri not an isolated island.First grab big states like OH, NY and PA. Then fill the map with some other smaller states like WV, KS or CT to make magic 20.

LOL OUCH!!! I would hate to play that SEC South conference schedule each year.....

I can't tell if that first sentence is supposed to be condescending. Regardless, I dont care about "the big boy table". The amount of money our schools make doesnt affect us. I want to see UC play the teams that it makes sense for UC to play. Thats WVU, Pitt, UL, Memphis for starters. You know, geographically similar schools playing amateur sports. AKA college football. These are our rivals (not so much WVU, although it was turning into a heated, and anticipated game). Rivalries used to be what set college ball apart.

Amen! The American needs to develop and promote great rivalry games. That is what the TV partners want to see and that is the only way for the American to improve its stock on the college football landscape.

There are already built in rivalries like UCF-USF and Houston-SMU, but I think Cincinnati-Houston, UCF-ECU and even UConn-Navy have solid potential. But, to really tap the potential and increase the American's value, you need to find some rivalry value that includes Tulane, Memphis, Tulsa, and Temple. And, the only way to really do that is to increase their on-the-field product. If that happens, nearly every week on the American TV schedule could boast valuable games...leading to increased revenues, eventually.

You the instant fix would be if byu would drop their big12 delusions and join the aac thus pulling boise, sdsu, afa. That would trigger an espn renegotiation where I think we could realize maybe 10/12 mil per. I think we could then woo gtown and nova for 5/6mil each. Bam instant p6 status plus our main competition gone (mwc and big east). This conference could even sustain loses and still be over the p5 hump. Just thinking...

Please make it stop!!!!!

No to adding Big East teams. No to adding Boise State. Just STOP!!!

We could have west:byu, sdsu, hou afa, smu, boise, tulane, tulsa. East:cincy, uconn ecu ucf usf mem navy temple. This should get at very nice fball bump. While at it offer nova, gtown a chance to come back to espn and uconn and cincy and mem and newcomer smu for say 5/6mill. I think they would jump in a instant to correct their awful decision to try a fake big east on a shirt network.

Seriously????? Boise State will not play a single game as a member of the American Athletic Conference. Book it!!!!

If this conference went west it would be for markets not Blue Fields. Further more, there will be none of the Catholic 7 returning to this Conference. Again, you can Book it!!!!

SDSU, UNLV, AFA, Fresno are the only teams other then BYU that this Conference is interested in in the West. The only target in the East at this time is Army and they aren't coming.

I think with a gor would even justify maybe 13/15 per now before I get slammed just remember most p5's only have maybe 4 teams that justify their huge contracts and have national brands, we would have uconn byu navy, afa to some degree, Memphis to some degree, ucf and smu quickly rising, but whatever move we make must be swift and decisive ala acc destruction of the beast. If we wait till the p5 move we would lose our upperhand.

If byu came every team in the mwc would be on bended knees begging to come along as the mwc would become basically cusa. I promise you gtown, and nova are sweating over that crap fs1. They're having serious buyers remorse.their window to stay relevant is quickly shrinking and the only life raft would be us, especially if the money was close and the conference was stable
