Could have been me with that flop.  Even worse, I'm sure I made certain takes comparing them to Houston as well in terms of becoming irrelevant, and Houston was apparently a sleeping giant.

Thing is being in the AAC was going to be tough to overcome in order to be really great again (good sure, great???)  -- I'm sure I oversold how bad it would be, and said they were never going to be good again either, so I was off either way..  But there is still some validity to the notion that the AAC was going to limit them.      Going back to the Big East, where there is really a "P6" in college basketball, was a very beneficial and smart strategic move for them.    I do wonder if Hurley signing in the summer of 2018, was based on the knowledge they were in the process of applying back to Big East (confirmed in summer of 2019).   Or perhaps it was just $$.  
 
Its interesting looking back at 2014.   Two teams stuck in the AAC at the time.   One basketball program (UConn) certainly did not want to be in the AAC but was forced there because of their football team.   The other basketball program (Houston) who was probably happy they could play in a relatively quality conference like the AAC,  because of their football team

Now they are both back to (or got into) power conference and amongst the top 5 programs in the current short term era.
