The boneyard is a good laugh. The hype videos as if some juggernaut is returning is laughable.
Well at least they dominated that mid major conference. O wait.He obviously deleted the tweet.
He called the AAC a mid-major conference.
What was the comment? The tweet has been deleted! DamnA “mid major” league that he couldnt even win in. Goofy comment, but it’s very much on brand for Hurley.

Staying near all the restaurants around the Quarter and taking the streetcar to the game. Hoo's That, Jr., and I did that when we visited Tulane for a campus tour.Why tho
They'll def get a boost but I'm not sure it'll be as big as they hope. This isn't the Big East pre 2013
NBE is pretty good but uconn is joining up at a time where Georgetown is losing their best player to Texas Tech. And no matter what they won’t be as bad as they were in the aack. I hope they stink but .500 in that league gets you into the tournament.
That's a super-well done article.Rating The Most Hilarious UConn Men’s Basketball Losses During Their Time In The AAC
It’s worth remembering the trash heap that their basketball program has been since Kevin Ollie won a title.www.anonymouseagle.com
From a Marquette fan of all people!
That's a super-well done article.
And my niece just graduated from Marquette, so even better!
I’m imagining Travis Diener said:To recap my distaste, the school is grasping onto their failure of a football program for dear life, the move was entirely dictated by nostalgia of spectators who grew up watching a men’s basketball program way more successful than the current iteration can dream of being, and they will demand more than they deserve in the future because of that. The re-addition of their women’s basketball team is a legitimate win for the conference, but it is outweighed by any one of those listed negatives.
Xavier and Marquette would debate you on that.Such a trash comment to make.
The American wasn’t deep but the top of the conference gave that trash program enough quality games.
Outside of Villanova and Creighton the Big East schools don’t have large fanbases.
Xavier has an arena with a max capacity of 10,250. Plus they don’t bring a lot of fans to MSG.Xavier and Marquette would debate you on that.
Xavier has an arena with a max capacity of 10,250. Plus they don’t bring a lot of fans to MSG.
They fill up their small arena and have support in Cincinnati it’s not a large fanbase.
I will concede Marquette but again it’s a distance second fiddle inside the state of Wisconsin but I would say they are a top 25 fanbase in college hoops.
The current Big East is basically Villanova national championships apart from the American. The top of the American has been pretty good the last couple of years.
The Big East has manipulated the computers in nonconference play but outside of Villanova they haven’t had a team in the Elite 8. Butler and Xavier are the only other Big East teams since 2014 to make 1 Sweet 16 appearance.
The Big East Conference outside of Villanova has been midmajor ish in the NCAAT since it became the catholic 10.

Go look at TV ratings for Big East on Fox.I mean I think every Big East school has a better fanbase for hoops than BC. Or even Wake since Skip. Or Clemson.
Providence- much better
Creighton- yes
Nova- yes
yukon- yes
St Johns- yes
Seton Hall- yes
Georgetown- yes
Butler- yes
X- yes
Marquette- yes
Depaul- equal
Mid level Big East is pretty good. Thats why everyone is correct to not assume yukon will automatically be that even if I unfortunately feel that way.
I will say this about st John's when they are really good people in NYC care. When they are mediocre no one does. I have a couple buddies who are st John's grads. They are Cuse fans.Go look at TV ratings for Big East on Fox.
Their fanbases are tiny.
Comparing them to the bottom of the ACc doesn’t prove anything.
Villanova, Creighton, and Marquette are legit.
Butler, Providence, Xavier are small and loyal.
Georgetown and St. John’s are living on nostalgia.
The rest are meh.
Conference wise this is true. But we don’t get more exposure UConn does well lol..we get nothing from it and it hurts us recruiting-wise.It would be a lot cooler to hate on UConn if we weren’t so mediocre since joining the ACC. I wish them well. Hopefully our games with them become nationally relevant again. Same principles apply to Georgetown. When our rivals do well, our games get more exposure.
