.UMass might drop football in the next 5 years. Does the AAC really want to take that on? Especially since in this scenario 2 of the 3 northeast schools will be gone.

There are a lot more candidates nearby AAC land, like So. Mississippi, just one example. Maybe Georgia State is another.

UMass may drop football in part because they can't find a home and it's not sustainable for them to be independent with no TV deal.

Put them in The American and they get a new lease on life. It's a game-changer for the school.

Possibly... But haven't schools also been known to tell recruits they are changing conferences.
 
If I was Mike Aresco, I'd say the AAC number 1 candidate is Old Dominion. Always - from the Programs first year - had great attendance. And solid venue. Good demographic market & good recruiting area.

UMass might not be top 4. Toledo. Rebuilding new stadium Georgia State. Buffalo. See ... I hope they have a Plan b.

For me, the best options have always looked to be ODU, Marshall, La Tech, and WKU.

If we get out of the conference I will never devote a single thought to it again.

There unfortunately are still some people on the MBB board OBSESSED with the Big East. Which is more understandable. I wonder how many people will keep serious tabs on ECU and Tulsa.

If UConn gets out of the AAC, I will not follow the conference any more than any other random conference. BUT, I won't root against ECU, Tulsa, etc. like I do with some Big East teams. Our situation isn't their fault. I think that's why I'd love to get into the B1G. I'd be fine with getting into the ACC, but I'd love to root against our old Big East immigrants (SU, Pitt, BC, Miami in particular) at every turn.
 
If we get into the B12 and we can establish a B12N for that conference, then I will rest from CR. But if there are drags to a network, then we must all still pay attention to the B1G. Without a network, conferences are dooming themselves. There is a race going on between the B12 and ACC to see who can launch a network first. We can be a HUGE piece to that. Seems like ESPN is downsizing while FOX wants to up their ante in the game. That points to B12 > ACC at this very moment.
 
It's not unreasonable for basketball fans to continue following old conference teams like Villanova, Georgetown, PC (this year), Marquette, and the like. They're relevant. Tulsa, Tulane, and ECU couldn't be less relevant.
