Penny Hardaway not happy UConn is leaving AAC

[TheBasketballOpinion]

“I don’t like it. It’s gonna really hurt us,” Hardaway told Hearst Connecticut Media by phone on Monday. “UConn is a great university, certainly with sports. To lose a school of that magnitude is tough. It’s gonna be tough to replace because of their history. I’m not fond of them leaving at all.”

Don't tell Aresco.

As he should be. UConn Basketball was a huge draw for all the programs when they entered the league. It was the biggest chip that was used in differentiating the AAC from C-USA; now that UConn is gone, there is no championship-level program to anchor it.

Sadly, someone needs to tell Penny that football drives the bus. BEEP! BEEP!

Good for him. Penny and Marshall both coming out against UCONN's departure is a litmus test of what schools are basketball schools n the AAC.

Cincy is too angry and bitter to be as honest as Memphis and Wichita State. The rest are just mediocre, bad and horrible football schools.

You would be angry and bitter too if your school had the Yellow Toothed Gnome coaching it for 13 years. He rubbed off on the Goobers in Clifton:



That pic was actually taken from a game between the Bearkittens and Nova.

To be fair Houston has a b-ball history most this conference would trade for in a heartbeat and temple's program history is no laughing matter either. Not just WSU Memphis and Cinci left.

True and I suppose Memphis fans were more excited about football until the second Hardaway was hired

I would say some, Phi Slamma Jamma was a short stint of excitement. Still pissed St. John's forgot to pick up Olajuwon at JFK. Yes, thats a true story.

Can you imagine the Ewing/Olajuwon battles in MSG? Him teamed with Mullin! We would have won a championship for sure.
