Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 1589821, member: 44"] I like it!! Along the same lines here's my plan to save the AAC: 1. The following programs to join the AAC (listed by annual football revenue): [INDENT]1 Texas Football $103,813,684 2 Michigan Football $85,209,247 3 Alabama Football $82,302,856 4 Auburn Football $77,170,241 5 Georgia Football $74,989,418 6 Florida Football $74,317,435 7 Louisiana State Football $69,427,009 8 Notre Dame Football $68,986,659 9 Arkansas Football $64,193,826 10 Ohio State Football $63,866,161 11 Oklahoma Football $59,825,653 [/INDENT] 2) Have everyone else but UConn leave. 3) Why would these programs join? Well these are the highest grossing football programs in the nation (and UConn.) Their media contract would be the highest in the nation! 4) Academic prestige? Look with the mega billions they'd be making they can afford to subsidize their academic side. Think about all the good that they will be able to do with near unlimited resources! It would be the new standard. 5) Now I'm sure that people will dismiss this as ludicrous, but that's because they are analyzing these teams joining the current American. If all these teams joined, the new American would be the defining powerhouse conference to which all others aspire. Genius right? Or maybe I'm just talking out my ass about a scenario that is based upon people abandoning their own interests to buck up a weak sister conference. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
