Most likely they will either stay put for a few years or add seperate football only and olympic sports only members like they have with Navy and Wichita State. Maybe add Army (football) and VCU (olympic sports).

Maybe Liberty University will try to buy their way into the AAC like they tried with CUSA with some outrageous amount of money.  Didn't they offer CUSA something like $25 million to get in?

I have a lot of ideas, but the only thing I really know is that the AAC really has no need to hurry with this decision. I assume that they can tell UConn that they can keep their football program in the conference for a year or two, similar to what the belt did with Idaho and NMstate. Then they could replace them with a better option or just go unbalanced.

No way AAC let's them keep football longer than basketball.

The vast majority of UNT fans think UNT is the best option for a better conference!?

Considering the list provided, there isn't a better option than us.  If you believe there is, then state a case as to why they are better suited to us.

‘Tis a joke, my friend. Results with our sample are pretty predictable.

Gotcha, but considering who is listed, we are the best.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      True. It doesn’t matter to anyone outside that school. But did you see NIU storm the field to celebrate the 4th down crushing sack of the Fresno quarterback to end the game? Followed by the lifting of the potato mascot into the air? Loved it for those dudes. Hard work paid off with a dramatic win. After learning our bowl destination my Dallas SEC diehards said they wanted to go to the game. So we’ll have the pre fun and post fun time on the 3rd. They attended the Boise Bowl and Cal game too. They are college football 🏈 LSU season ticket holder junkies who look forward to a fun day. I’m in the minority in this thread but I’m glad we play bowl games. I don’t need to see NIU or Fresno again this season but I’m glad it happened. Beat Texas State! GMG

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      This is what the NCAA was trying to stop. But the hypocrisy and greed of everyone else in the sport getting paid a “market rate” while walk-ons got nothing and scholarship athletes were eating ramen noodles in the offseason broke that model. The ONLY rational way forward to get sanity and fairness back with a large healthy FBS would about 80-100 teams coming together and becoming an actual league. No less than 50% of all revenue (not including home ticket sales and merchandise sold on campus) would be shared equally. Lots of other things would have to be done but most of them include cushy fat cat positions going away, and others taking 50% pay cuts. The athletic departments would have to surrender a lot of power to the new league/NCAA along with the revenue sharing. We all know that isn’t happening. And we are on a slow road to College Football regular season ratings going down and playoff ratings going up while it is new. Then after the newness wears off we will have FBS looking more like College Basketball. Dramatically less interest in regular season football with few being familiar with great players outside of Heisman contenders (and/or projected 1st round Quarterbacks).

      Maybe I need to read the article again... Is that saying with revenue sharing coming online there will be a limit to what NIL Collectives can pay? That article seems to suggest that the big money will level out. How is that?
