Some interesting notes in there.

Army has some  games scheduled that could get cancelled when they move to the AAC. Maybe there could be some interesting schools (Coastal Carolina? Air Force? Tulsa? Syracuse? Boston College?) looking to fill a 2028 slot who might want a home and home with us?

That's what I was thinking a few weeks ago. Would be cool to go watch a Mean Green game in Boston or at the Carrier Dome.

All for a Boston road trip.

It's been a little quiet on this lately, hopefully things are still moving in a positive direction.

I attended the two Army games at West Point and attended the Navy game this past weekend at the Naval Academy.  All were very memorable, but seeing a North Texas flag flying above the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium as a conference mate was pretty special.  Hopefully, we'll see one flying above Michie Stadium in the future and both flying above DATCU stadium.

A few quick thoughts:

  • Competition: Playing Army provides a challenge and an opportunity to test our skills. It also helps us to improve our game, as we learn from our mistakes and from the strategies of our opponents.
  • Fun: Playing against another Army adds to the fun and excitement, as we all work together to achieve a common goal.
  • Community: These games can bring people together from all walks of life. Playing against Army can foster a sense of community and rivalry, which can be a positive force in people's lives.
  • Tradition: Playing against Army is a way to carry on this tradition and to share our love of the game with others.

I hope they can land Army they really are a national treasure.  

I saw where the hold up is that it would cost Army $80 million to buy out of existing contracts.

Honestly, for the AAC the timing isn't super crucial (unlike for the PAC2 where the silence should scare the bejeesus out of their fans). If it takes a bit longer and only happens in 2025, then that is no disaster for the AAC. Yes the uneven number would make scheduling in 2024 a bit tougher for the admins, but it could be done. I take it, that if you push Army's entrance by a year that would reduce that 35 million number by a whole lot.

Maybe they will put Tulsa in that rival spot. I assume that UTSA and RICE are paired up. 

I believe Temple and Tulsa are the two teams who do not have an annual rival right now. I would vote for Rice/Tulane and us and UTSA.

I don't know if their fans think it would make sense for them, but I would love this move!

I don't know much about VCU compared to Dayton.  Which is the better National brand for us to get?

Next domino for basketball may be VCU.

 

 

VCU would be a tremendous get. They are my preferred school of the talked about candidates. Also I assume the headline is a mistake and it should be "Olympic Sports Member" not "Basketball-only Member" ?
