I hate that AAC bs, really promotes confusion...

I glanced at this thread's title and thought it pertained to new ACC logo...
How will that look? Have to incorporate KY and IN...
UConn is trying to shore up the AAC basketball tournaments as in-state functions (i.e. home games) with a little help from the natives.

Who cares about subpar basketball when you can play some craps instead?
"The conference is also considering cities such as Louisville"
That sounds like a great idea!
Geno is really pushing the in-state angle. It doesn't shock me, but they are being so arrogant about it. 'We win championships (mens and women's), therefore we should be able to dictate the location of the future AAC tournaments.' What a mess that conference is going to be.
No chance Louisville hosts it. UConn won't let that happen.
I think they should have the exact same logo as the ACC with the one letter different and hope no one notices.
UConn's athletic director, Warde Manuel, said he doesn't see gambling as an issue, especially because the Mohegan Sun does not have a sports book.
"I think we're past the idea that having a tournament in an arena attached to a casino, that in some type of way we're influencing people to gamble," he said. "I don't see that tie."

I'll bet they're wrong.
