AAC leveraging ESPN to lure forgotten 4

Assume we go to a 16-team conference with two 8-team divisions. If you stick to an 8-game conference schedule and always play other teams in your division, that's seven division games plus one inter-division game. It would take eight years to rotate through all teams in the other division. Alternately, you go to a nine-game conference schedule and play seven division plus two inter-division games. Then it would only take four years to rotate through the other division. I know - big league problems just like SEC, Big Ten, and Big 12. Personally, I don't like having to wait four or eight years to play the teams in the other division.

The ACC didn't act on Wednesday, so there is real debate if they will expand with Stanford, Cal, and SMU.

The AAC jumps in a says we'll take al 4, but so will MWC.  So which media deal is better the AAC's or MWC and how does the travel cost change with  a regional foot print vs a national one?

Very interesting…pick the MWC for reasonable regional schedule, but less money and academics that I would say in their eyes, below their standards. Pick the AAC and get a problematic national schedule, but more money and schools within the conference on par somewhat to what they’re used to.

Would the AAC be 16 teams with the inclusion of the PAC 4 orphans ?  That would reduce the per school payout unless the AAC 16 would be more attractive thereby creating a more lucrative deal ??

I would hope so.

The AAC needs to get creative in its scheduling. What if every first game was a conference game? Or every first game was a non conference game against a team from the other division? When most every other schools are playing a lackluster first game, the AAC should try to own that first weekend. Take over PAC after dark.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      Goal Post Alert

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      Have almost given up trying to figure out time lines with college athletes. Tell me how in the world athletes can transfer three or four times and still be on any path to have the proper amount of hours at a school to graduate. It has become a total joke.
