The AAC is now simply pre realignment Conference USA . They pulled a pretty impressive magic trick convincing everyone

Performance is key. UCF, Houston, and a few others have done well.

Right. Good for them. But they did so with the resources and image built by the former conference members.

The AAC is the highest G5 football conference and highest non-P5/Big East basketball conference now

Ya so let's continue to hold out for a P5 invite that won't come and act like

We can acknowledge their success while also considering our unique needs and our own goals and expectations.

If the expectation is P5, it has proven time and time again to be unattainable.

Please, we'd be fine with Auburn

Bronco seemed to have a different opinion about it. His opinion carries as much

Why would it carry more weight than TH? Bronco doesn't deal with the financials of the AD.

I think Bronco was looking at it from a wins and losses and bowl games and

One major condition to our joining should be that the AAC leaves the Group of 5

The AAC is not closing any gap to the PAC 12

Winning games might close the gap on strength of schedule, but until the money is the same, it's fool's gold.
