Instead of joining the AAC, how feasible is it to take Boise, USU, and pick off

What would be the motivation/gain for the existing AAC programs?

Possible P5 status if the bottom-dwellers weren't included? Kinda how the Big

10/21/19 2:58pm

I think they'd need more than "possible" to want to jump, especially when considering the added travel.

The AAC has its ideal scenario with UConn leaving. A bottom-dweller voluntarily

Definition of P5: conferences that have contracts with the major bowls - Rose,

None- unless they were guaranteed a seat at the CFP. Not going to happen.

Maybe that can be pre-negotiated.

10/21/19 3:23pm

Lol, you think the P5 is going to “pre-negotiate” that?

We need to use our back-channel contacts to convince SDSU and Hawaii to go indy

No, form a new conference.

10/21/19 3:10pm

??? For what purpose? Who would that benefit?

I was thinking if we get rid of the bottom-dwellers, we have a chance to become

Would that include a collusion plan that would site which team gets to run the table each year? More good teams at the

A stronger conference would be more likely to get a guaranteed spot.

10/21/19 3:20pm

The ONLY thing that will make the P5 expand to the P6 is putting a lot more money in the pockets of those already part

A lot of the AAC are former SWC and have football traditions.

10/21/19 3:27pm

So, where's the part where this is going to add tons more money to the pockets of the folks who already control the

Don't know.

10/21/19 3:52pm

Every conference has bottom-dwellers. You need them to build the top end.

Doogal McCougar

10/21/19 3:26pm

ah I am pretty sure we have become a "bottom dweller"

10/21/19 5:49pm

Aye, too late. The AAC just signed a $1 billion media contract.

Dang it! Wish they read my post beforehand.

Looks like we tried it already!

You lost me at "take USU"...

If Independence moved on (hope not), then go back to the original offer

I think a couple or weeks ago people were high on USU. I guess they kept losing
