There are other reasons. But I am happy as an Indy.

I would be happy with the AAC too though. Ultimately we will never be invited to a P5 league so I think we're better off joining now and trying to build for more inclusion in the future, if an 8 team playoff ever materializes.

MWC would be a lot harder to stomach than AAC, for me.

The ONLY reason to join would be to get access to the CFP

I could handle it if we convinced BSU to join us in the AAC. But anyone who

Perhaps you can tell why MWC-leaning folks are out of touch or misunderstand

I think the perception is that the AAC is a conference with a lot of growth

I don't think the AAC offers much more than the MWC except better overall

Also, I would only be okay with it if we played 3-4 P5 teams non-conference

AAC = multiple teams in the final CFP/BCS rankings; MWC = Boise St., on occasion

Also, AAC gets wins against P5 opponents:

Buck's idea is out of date. 2016 is way different from 1985.

Slowly but surely the BSU love is dying nationally

Because they aren't winning as much

San Diego State has twice as many new-MWC conference championships than Boise

Utah played csu in 2014 so it's even worse

Their entire argument is based on payout

I couldn't care less about payout

I award you 10 CB Points for correct use of the phrase "I couldn't care less"

Still rather go to Vegas than Miami, but yeah, its almost a wash

I would never support a move back to the MWC, maybe scheduling agreement w/AAC

My support would be unchanged, but I'd be ticked off unless things change to

A move back to the MWC and I'll stop buying season tickets and I'll stop donating. A move to the MWC means that
