Oh wait a minute ...

If the two teams that got in the tourney were UConn and Memphis, I might be a little bothered.. but, I'm ok with the season, considering it happened during off years by the Huskies and Tigers.

UConn-SMU made for a great showcase on Selection Sunday. Both Temple and Tulsa made strong NCAA cases for the dance.

IMO, the AAC did its part. The snub of Temple was scrutinized enough in the media that the public wasn't fooled.

Unless, the NBE wins a Natty this year, you still have work to do, down 2 sets to love.

By the way, keep your eye on the UConn women in the tourney. I hear they're pretty good.

Bunch of no-talent hacks those UCONN women are!!

I mean, if you had a 1.3" member and a girl you just met laughed at it, could you get her to think better of it by pointing out that it is 4x longer than a .3 inch one? I doubt that would make your actual 'exposure' mean any more to her. It's the difference between microscopic and atomistic.

Lol...it might be worth mentioning if the chick is paying 40 million to diddle a .3 incher.

1.3 rating is close to 1.7 million viewers (which is amazing for basketball, similar to the pac12) ...a .3 is barely 400k viewers ...there is only 1 micropenis in this convo

The AAC did not 'do its part', unless you think having the 8th best basketball conference according to the power rankings and getting just two teams in is acceptable. IMO, it was, on court and field, an awful year for us, football and basketball.

And thing is, the AAC name didn't seem to help our bubble teams at all. We are not accorded any respect by the P5 or national media. We are viewed as generic G5. That's reality.

As for the UConn women, they will likely do what they do- win the national title. But that won't do anything for the rep of the AAC where it counts at all. That is their glory, not ours. Nobody will think the AAC helped them do it.

Let's be real here. Nobody wants to watch a conference full of small religious schools.

If it's a good product people will watch. I thoroughly enjoyed watching BE hoops this year. There's some really fun venues in the league which creates good theater. Pretty much every Butler game from Hinkle this year was great. Marquette should get their Wojo-Mojo back next year with that recruiting class. The Bradley Center rocks for big games...

The religious aspect is overblown. There's plenty of non-religious people who grew up rooting for ND football. I'm one of them...

Down year. We didn't deserve a lot of bids. Next year should be different.

Norte Dame has a national following. The big East schools do not. So putting them on FS1 is a diaster. They played great this year though, but nobody watched. That will impact recruiting over the next few years. Nobody outside of Big East fans will search to watch those games. They look for espn games or bigger school games

The A10 got a lot of bids last year, and the MVC got a lot of bids a few years ago. The NBE got a lot of bids this year. They all have/had down years between their better years. They all seem to pull about the same ratings. None of them win/won titles.

Quo my friend, serious question... you are very clearly and by your own admission a Big East fan first in basketball season. Yet you never post on the Big East board. Why? If you're a Georgetown fan, that's where your compadres are... One would think that instead of staying here and going negative all season, you would be there with the Georgetown fans and in 'positive' mode.

I'm really just curious.

Sometimes I think posters like you are really just the folks who own the board, here to drive up the argument, and thusly the clicks and ad revenue! lol

which is what i said..if it was on espn people would watch...

but no one is going out of there way to look for big east games ..which is what is required for fs1

the big east is small private schools in a tiny section of america.. they arent going to bring ratings...they need a place were the viewers already are and show them the product they have...and thats not fs1..

you might be one of the few people to watch big east because theyve had horrible ratings all season

I'm one of those people who gets FS1 but not ESPN New or ESPNU so it's instinct to flip over to FS1. For me it was easier to watch the Big East compared to the AAC most nights. Plus, I watched a lot of Big 12 football on FS1 in the fall and I still follow NASCAR a bit. To me FS1 has value..

I admit that I'm not your normal sports fan in that it's basically the only tv I watch. Every night I'm looking for a game on. I can sit down and watch a quality Horizon or Summit League game and be content.

You are in the minority with FS1. Most get ESPNU and ESPNews. And most are grouped with ESPN and ESPN2. FS1 way far away.

It's definitely strange. I don't get CBS Sports Network either. I get NBC Sports and FS1...

Also, every Villanova bball game is now broadcasted in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area on our ESPN Radio affiliate. This is due to a few prominent 'Nova alums ties to the Scranton Times and Shamrock Communications. This is only a recent development. When I left the area a few years ago this was not the case. IMO, it's a smart move. Force Wildcat hoops on the residents of Northeast PA. Historically, even before McNamara, Syracuse was probably the most popular hoops program around here. Unless it was one of those random years when Penn State had pulse....

Bull, i post here because i have for 7 years. I generally talk about AAC issues. I only discuss the Big East when obsessed people around here bring it up.
