Tulsa and Tulane lost the AAC crediablity? Was this Tulsa is so bad that they beat us in 07 with max hall and austin collie?  Lost to us by 2 a few years go in the Armed Forces bowl?  Tulane has the New Orleans market, a brand new stadium and facilities and money, and one of the best accademic schools in the south.  They actually made a bowl game this year.  There is bad teams in the AAC right now, like ECU, Tulsa etc....but they will turn it around.  ECU used to beat big P5 teams every year and turn out NFL players like Chris Johnson etc.  I would expect them to rise again with the recruits they get and a new coach.  I guess someone living in the south the AAC has alot of respect here. And its future is very bright.  Houston, UCF, Memphis will be BCS busters year in and year out.  I think the AAC is a much better option than the Mountain West.  Not close to the Big 12, but it is the next best conference option. If joining a conference was what was wanted.
