AAC ON GUARD

[meangreen11]

Can the A in American stand for aggressor?

The American Athletic Conference has no plans to sit back and let a rebuilding Big 12 lure its best programs such as Houston, UCF and Cincinnati.

Expect Commissioner Mike Aresco to court the potential Big 12 leftovers.

What the AAC has going for it is an ESPN contract that runs through the 2031-32 school year.

Aresco can sell long-term stability and the ability to re-open that $1 billion TV deal for a super conference of 16, 18, maybe even 20 schools that will be more valuable long-term than what the next version of the Big 12 could get when it hits the open market.

Smart.  
Being proactive instead of re-active.  Don’t know if it will work, though, but at least they’re trying something while others sit around.🙄

Yep.  Being proactive.  Like I always say, "the squeeky wheel gets the oil"®.

SMU, UH, Memphis, Tulane should be meeting with the big 12 commish offering to give  up shares to keep the 8 together and of course they join. AAC getting 2 or 3 left overs isn’t a step up for the AAC or it’s teams, but moving to the new Big 12 would be for there 4 teams. Show them the money!
