Sounds like the American is not such a bad conference after all and that it should get better. We just need to raise more money and WIN GAMES! I don’t suspect many of us will be suiting up so raising money is our contribution, pun intended!

I haven't read every piece of news, but my perception was that UTSA was mentioned only after Traylor started publicly making claims that they were in talks with the PAC. From everything that has been reported, the PAC never actually invited UTSA. They may have had the same "talks" that we had...a polite answering the call and turning them down. Those who know for sure aren't saying. What I do know is that the more credible sources only reported that the 3 (Memphis, Tulane and USF) schools turned down the PAC. I think the AAC was forced to put UTSA on their "Committed" graphic only b/c Traylor had been spouting off publicly, and not b/c they had turned down an invite. Read the UTSA AD's statement carefully. Traylor is increasingly turning into a side show for UTSA....especially with them looking to have a very down year this year. A few years ago, right on the heels of him winning CUSA and signing a 10 year contract, the students voted down a measure to increase athletics fees. Next he loses all of his NFL receivers to graduation and NIL/transfer thievery and proceeds to lose it publicly. I think he's finding that the money in UTSA isn't enough to sustain the early success he had and he's going off and doing things on his own. It could work out great....but it could end badly (DD's exit here comes to mind) if he can't get the team back to their previous winning ways.

Man I hope he gives the defense a big boost.

According to that post we are missing about 5 more games?

No G5 conference is in a position to be getting rid of any members. None.
