all schools in AAC have verbally committed. They had better follow up, or it gets even worse to recruit.

I don't see what choice there is. At this point you are either all in or dropping down a level. If you are not ponying up your recruiting will be devastated.

Wait...Are the P5 schools getting more scholarship allotments? So if they pay their 85 players $$ how does that affect, say UConn, if they do NOT pay? Maybe we lose a player or two to Wake Forrest? The P5 schools only have so many schollies? I can see by the AAC paying we pull good kids from other conferences like the MAC etc.

It's not like we have are at the top of the talent pool as it is now. IF you are not offering full cost of attendance (FCOA) money you will have to get behind every school that is. Now if you are saying that we are already behind the P5's anyway, I understand the argument but I think that you'll lose your top prospects (some of whom you have a shot at) and be painted with a "small time program" brush. Fortunately UConn has already done that math, as have the most (all?) of the rest of the AAC so the issue is moot.
