UConn is only going to drive up the ticket prices for the Big East. Demand for the tourney is going to be even more absurd.

When are we getting the POW9R commercials???

This year I had to settle for upper level all session tickets, since the lower level was all sold out. Can't imagine how tough itll be to get tix once uconn joins. The only drawback of uconn joining.

I am so happy we have a commissioner who doesn't run around screaming at the top of her lungs about our "power conference" status. So much better to have someone who actually gets things done behind the scenes like challenges with real power conferences that prove our status without saying a word. Can you imagine how embarrassing that must be?

It’s crazy he’s still there. Imagine how many teams have ditched him so far:
Miami
VT
ND
BC
Cuse
Pitt
Rutgers
Georgetown
Nova
Hall
PC
StJ
Marquette
DePaul
Louisville
UCONN

... that’s 16 schools (prolly missing some more) quitting on you. Yet he just got himself a hefty raise with his swwweeeeeet paywall deal stretching till 2032. Gotta give the guy credit, has the survival skills of a German cockroach

@Marquette- yes actions speak much louder than words, and further the media respects us more for not trying to brag about how much we belong. That's really my main problem with the AAC (besides Stever), those ridiculous P6 commercials.

@Django- Aresco joined the Big East (later AAC) in August 2012, so a lot of those teams left before. Still, the C7 didn't leave until around December after some really bad additions. Side note: Aresco apparently went to UConn for law school. Ouch!

Nah don’t sweat it. You’ll be able to buy tickets for the weekend on the cheap from UConn fans when their team loses on the first day.

Boom! Enough of this Husky love fest.
