AAC Expansion

[CTFAN4LIFE]

I wonder how this dilution does or doesn't effect the exit fees for AAC teams wanting to leave now or in the years ahead?

Every round of realignment has a singular loser. We know that feeling well.

Well this round, it was clearly Temple. I take no pleasure in that; they deserve better. Who will be their travel partner? ECU? How about their natural rival? USF.

Their fan base must be sick...

Memphis has not exactly won.

Among the remaining G5 schools, these additions rate about
A (UAB)
B (FAU, UTSA)
C (Rice, Charl)
D (UNT)

Pretty sad that that's the best they can do.

Is UAB an A or more of a B?

I’ll bump Charlotte to a B. They have zero prestige but are in a growth market and are investing in the program. They have some upside I think

 

[Vowelguy]

I was right about Rice.

You were wrong about UTSA.

 

[shizzle787]

You were wrong about UTSA.

I was wrong about 6 vs. 4.

What’s funny is the football board has no comment at this time.

I will speak for the football board. We are glad we are independent.

Think your math in Wichita is off a good bit

[CTFAN4LIFE]

That's what I was talking about. I'll say it again - thank God we're out of the AAC!

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Was wondering about that as well.

Where would DePaul fit in here? Just as a reference point.

Probably around UAB.

I know this is the hoops side of the house, but poor Navy.

Believe it or not, they are probably pumped. They get to play 4 Texas schools a year.

DePaul is the Big East worst team and would probably fit in there nicely.

If you anagram the first letters of those teams, one of the things you can spell is:

FUCT ME…NUT WURST

Yup. Navy’s AD was on the 4 member expansion committee

 

[Storrs South]

Yup. Navy’s AD was on the 4 member expansion committee

Why does Navy need some many schools on Texas? Doesn't 1 or 2 make the point from a recruiting standpoint? I get it's big state but isn't there diminishing returns at a certain point?
