Get Rice, Tulsa, and Charlotta outta here!

I think this is good news for us and the other programs that support.  I just wonder who are the ULM type programs of the AAC?  ECU perhaps?

ECU, that packs in 40k plus at their better attended games?

"Over the last decade, the league claimed key football victories over power conference programs, a successful run that saw some of the top-resources institutions get promoted to the Big 12 and ACC."

Tulsa would be my guess.

And Rice.  Rice as a University has huge resources and endowments, but for sports they are pitiful.

I though Rice was going to open up it's purse strings somewhat for athletics. Also Tulsa has a small fan base but they have money. Charlotte may have a problem but its $10 million over 3 years as I understand it so maybe not. I do think its positive that the AAC set a benchmark for its members.

Rice has some sort of school clause that they cannot use their endowment on sports.

Then they need to talk to $mut officials about how to do it off the books.....
