Colorado State past 10-11 years is roughly 51-73. They dropped the past three years in attendance 2017-2019 from 32000 to 23000 a game. I just don’t see why the AAC teams left are getting excited about them. Plus Addazio fell into that job after Boston College sent him packing and the future looks meh with him there. They are delusional to think that they are not losing money on that contract. No one cares about Colorado state out there and ESPN won’t either

They are likely being added as a stipulation by Air Force for joining.

And that shows you desperate if not inept the AAC is. Air Force is considered such a prize that they get to dictate adding CSU?

Air Force is a service academy. They are definitely a prize. Plus, if you can get them, you pick off 2 more MW schools (Wyoming/UNM or Fresno/UNLV) to force the hand of BSU and SDSU to join.

LOL. Wyoming. Dude, just stop. That's even better than your Rice pick.

Wyoming is a front-range state flagship. Rice is in Houston and is one of the top 20 universities in the country.

They add nothing in football and basketball.
Wyoming brings with it the 12 households that live in Wyoming, and Rice has about 5 households in Texas that care about Rice.
but sure dilute everyone else’s shares by adding 2 teams that bring nothing to the table.
Is this Mike Arescis account?

Wyoming is good for 7-8 wins a year on average.

Wyoming’s 7 wins and $3 can get you a Starbucks coffee.

I think Starbucks coffee is pricey lol

Air Force facing pushback from financial supporters as conference move gains momentum: Source

If Air Force is indeed on the verge of leaving the Mountain West, the move would come without a unified front from those who help to bankroll the academy’s athletics.

They should push back...there is no rush to do this.... especially at Air Force who should be able to go independent if the MWC true falls apart.

The point is, they do nothing for your TV contract except reduce the shares for everyone else. They don't have a significant following to make them valuable to a streaming service; so if you are adding them, the only thing they really bring to the conference media deal is more inventory of games.

They aren't good enough to make noise and gain the conference publicity or to be a consistent threat in either major sport, so they don't bring value as an attraction, they don't bring a market, or a significantly sized following to sell stream subscriptions too. There where they need to be unless your a conference that simply needs a body to fill out the conference and that Wyoming makes geographical sense to be a team to add.

• they don't bring value as an attraction,

Butbutbut they're a front-range state flagship! How could you overlook that??

Which means AFA and CSU are likely gone.

Maybe next week we will hear that the MTW is about to offer SMU and Memphis.

[UConnJim]

Honestly, I don't know why any of the MWC schools would want to join the AAC at this point. The four most marketable brands: UConn, UCF, Houston, and Cincinnati are gone. I wonder why SMU and Tulsa just don't join the MWC. They were in the WAC with almost all of those schools before. The MWC would then be the clear top G5 conference.

 

[Vowelguy]

@Vowelguy , you might want to dislike this, too. Good luck with treatment.

Dude I disagreed with your statement. Didnt realize that it would send you over the edge.

 

[ScottVib]

Noticed Air Force more likely to go than Colorado State. This (TV money) probably becomes a factor (along with potential travel bills):
