lmao louisville and memphis being the cream of Conference USAHope this is not meant to make us feel good as they label it “the dreadful PAC 12”. What also would be nice if someday we were one of the better teams in our conference. Never would have guessed that we wouldn’t be the cream of the conference every year once we joined, the way Louisville and Memphis were for Conference USA way back.
Based on the trajectory of the AAC I fully expect them to jump over the Big East in the next 1-2 years. The Big East is a sinking ship that’s going to continue in a downward trajectory. The AAC has a very good group of coaches that are now starting to bring in some serious recruits. It should translate into more prestige and more ranked teams for the conference.
Changing the AAC logo would be a start. The logo is dreadful. It looks like something they came up with and threw together last minute. A 5 year old can design a better logo. Prestige sometimes starts with branding.

Branding definitely needs to be revisited. Specifically, they need to stop pushing the "Power 6" narrative. Those commercials make me cringe almost as hard as the one where UConn calls NYC "its own backyard".
I get the AAC wants to separate itself from the other mid-major conferences, but that has to be done on the court and not in a marketing campaign. If anything, it reeks of desperation for approval, which media execs can smell from 100 miles away when they go to renegotiate the TV deal.

Yeah Cincinnati absolutely dominated C-USA until they left. Then Memphis took over.lmao louisville and memphis being the cream of Conference USA
Let’s hope so and pluck some teams for our league.Based on the trajectory of the AAC I fully expect them to jump over the Big East in the next 1-2 years.

Not sure what's funny about Lville and Memphis. But what is funny and sad is that Uconn can not be cream of crop in AAC. Sighlmao louisville and memphis being the cream of Conference USA

Hey, the AAC already has a men’s BB Champion, repeat Women’s BB champion, multiple New Years 6 Football Bowl wins... AND IT HASNT MATTERED, because the cartel doesn’t want it to matter.

What concerns me are teams poaching the AAC coaches, especially with top programs potentially opening up soon. Not too worried about penny, Hurley or Sampson. But not as convinced Cronin and Marshall who we need to keep. Will also be nice to keep Dawkins, Dooley (who ecu needs) and jankovich (IMO, very underrated coach. Been playing with injuried teams and loss of scholarships but still does decent). The rest other teams can haveBased on the trajectory of the AAC I fully expect them to jump over the Big East in the next 1-2 years.

I think Sampson is the most likely to jump. Marshall is very high-end in pay and would need a ridiculous offer to leave (especially considering no one was able to pull him from WSU when they were in the MVC.) Penny and Cronin aren't going anywhere, they're at their alma maters which are both very good jobs.What concerns me are teams poaching the AAC coaches, especially with top programs potentially opening up soon.

Hopefully there is a little more stability than football

Anything is possible but I would be surprised if Sampson left Houston. He’s in his 60s and his whole family works for the school (and former players). He can ask Tilman Fertitta for anything he wants, and the NBA team he coached for (which is owned by Fertitta) has players going to his games in a brand new arena, which has been selling out.
Meh. My initial reaction to the P6 campaign was that it ranked up there with Red Pants' Civil ConFLiCT. (Hmm was Diaco JaCkSoN?) But now I think it has raised the notion that we are tweener between the P5 and the G5 into the public consciousness. Hell the P5 was just a made up label as well. I think it is effective branding, personally.Branding definitely needs to be revisited. Specifically, they need to stop pushing the "Power 6" narrative.
