Hate to say but Marshall because of location and their history. GMG

And if this happens CUSA needs to jump on App State.

Move Navy to East and add us to West.

ODU?

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).

I don't know how important academic ranking is to the AAC but, Marshall might not be desirably viewed in that regard.

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?

We need fewer teams, not more.

So an unbalanced conference instead?

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

I’m working. Can we list any/all Twitter accounts that would be of interest regarding AAC decision(s)?

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.

Yes, or reduce the conference by one or even three more.

[MeanGreen2019]

I think with UCONN leaving, this just made Houston, SMU, and Cal games even more important next year. If we can win 2 of those three games, then we can hopefully garner more consideration.

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.
