Their footprint is a little more East coast which is good in basketball...

In the past, half of CB was pro AAC membership

I don't recall that being the case. There were some, sure. But half?

I’d absolutely love for BYU to be in the AAC...massive upgrade in basketball

ColumbusCoug

The AAC the last 4 years has been ranked 6th, 7th, 7th and 7th in basketball

Indy Coug

I’m slightly confused...that is good right?

ColumbusCoug

6/24/19 12:32pm

It means they are the next in line after P5/Big East. How good/bad that is depends on your perspective

Indy Coug

6/24/19 12:34pm

And better than any other option available to BYU

BYU can’t handle the current conference.

I'd take an invite right now.

SLIVER

Join the what?

Mitty

I'm 100% on board with a jump to the AAC...

Coug

6/24/19 12:27pm

I just have no interest watching BYU against a bunch of east coast teams.

Jeremy

6/24/19 12:46pm

Well good news... most of the team we would play would be from Texas...

Coug

6/24/19 1:32pm

Yeah, those awesome games against Pacific and LMU are something else

ESPN will always need BYU for T/F late games. AAC or INDY

I think it was a vocal minority that favored joining the AAC

Remigius

6/24/19 12:27pm

Yep. Agreed

I just don't see how it works out with travel

They’d fly on jet planes

icecougar

6/24/19 12:33pm

Are you sure about the jets?

Here’s my thoughts

My ideal scenario is expanded AAC for Olympics and indy football affiliation

boscatar

6/24/19 12:49pm

Since UCONN is leaving you would only need three teams to get 14 teams.

Remigius

6/24/19 12:53pm

I'd rather have more western teams than just Gonzaga and Boise State

boscatar

6/24/19 1:09pm

a league with a consistent top 10 team is embarrassing? GU have been ranked #1

claw

6/24/19 1:07pm

You don’t actually think the WCC is reputable right?

ColumbusCoug

6/24/19 1:23pm

Yes, that league is trash. Gonzaga is the only good thing

jes2332

6/24/19 1:39pm

One great team and a bunch of crap teams with zero history and H.S

blackshirts

6/24/19 1:39pm

BYU loses to those teams regularly. St. Mary’s is a better team most years.

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

6/24/19 1:43pm

True and the WCC is still a trash conference

jes2332

6/24/19 1:57pm

I know what you are saying is true.

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

6/24/19 2:03pm

I would be for it if football was limited to a 6 game conf schedule leaving BYU

Thrill

6/24/19 12:31pm

Great point - That is where I am too + basketball - Everything else WCC

TTownPuma

6/24/19 12:50pm

But why would the AAC entertain this for even 5 seconds?

SLIVER

6/24/19 1:56pm

BYU @ AAC venues = good for AAC TV ratings = good for ESPN

boscatar

6/24/19 2:02pm

That can exist without a scheduling agreement.. ESPN helps negotiate those

SLIVER

6/24/19 2:10pm

It was probably way more than half...

BYUFam1

6/24/19 2:10pm

AAC >>> MWC, but BIG EAST >>> AAC

Coogar2

6/24/19 2:13pm

Even if that were true the landscape has changed.
