So, that's what you got from my post...that I want to bet? LOL, might want to re-read. PROVE it on the court first. You have got a LONG way to go on that front and you are playing inferior competition.
To your other point, IMHO, we're perfectly content in the Big East. Having the best record in all of College Basketball over the last 5 years, one of best current coaches in the game, 2 of the last 3 National Championships, a pretty sweet TV deal and currently the #2 recruiting class for next year... I'll take it.
Keep puffing up the AAC for hoops though its all good. We enjoy playing UCONN (with a hell of a lot better pedigree than UCF) and Temple every year... they have historical success. I think the Big East is doing just fine relative to the AAC--I know head to head in hoops its been no contest and obviously recent performance in the Tournament isn't as well.
But, you are right on one front... you do have football. We aren't moving it up to the top tier... no need or desire, and frankly, we are a smaller school. Interesting that we did upset Temple this year though.....
So we will just mire away in the lowly Big East... consistently in the Top 3 or so hoops conferences year in and year out (this is a basketball board, right?).
