Until this game kicks off, I'm only giving it a 60% chance of even happening.

It’s this excitement that has me moving in favor of joining the AAC

I'd only be ok with it IF the G5 has an Autobid to the playoff and as an

ZacSeljaas'Stache

10/16/20 4:47pm

No G5 ever. It would destroy our program and take away our ability to recruit

travelcoug

10/16/20 5:20pm

We don’t recruit all that well now

Blue Cat

10/16/20 5:40pm

So you want to recruit even worse then? Give up exposure? For what?

travelcoug

10/16/20 6:00pm

Once again, no evidence that recruiting will be worse

Blue Cat

10/16/20 6:21pm

More eyes tune into bigger games. Our opponent brings half of the exposure.

I'm Dynamite

10/16/20 6:45pm

How well do we recruit?

SandYFan

10/16/20 5:50pm

BYU and Boise joining the AAC would definitely boost the conference.

WJCougar

10/16/20 4:48pm

It would boost them and diminish us

travelcoug

10/16/20 5:20pm

Lol....hyperbole much?

WJCougar

10/16/20 5:28pm

No just fact

travelcoug

10/16/20 6:01pm

National team?

WJCougar

10/16/20 6:21pm

It's always been a backup plan, though

SUAVO

10/16/20 4:48pm

this is excitement?

Sea Chicken

10/16/20 4:48pm

Compared to the last 10 years? Absolutely.

I think the excitement of playing Houston is an indictment of where our

Or it's just the first real test in what has been a garbage calendar year with an amazing schedule largely canceled.

Sea Chicken

10/16/20 4:53pm

Yes, that is true. But come on, Houston went 4-8 last year...

NacoCoug

10/16/20 4:57pm

But looked way better

puntersarepeople

10/16/20 4:59pm

Different team, redshirted a ton of guys on purpose.

mulletino

10/16/20 5:02pm

I think it is a reflection of this season. The wierd nature of everything

travelcoug

10/16/20 5:21pm

If you think current recruiting is bad get ready for a huge drop

Zak

10/16/20 4:51pm

Dumb. Recruiting in Indy has been worse than when BYU was MWC.

Moops

10/16/20 5:57pm

ask the players that actually had legit options. They will admit it.

Zak

10/17/20 12:09am

The current excitement is more about our record than the opponent

panguitch

10/16/20 4:52pm

We’d be excited for UCF, Memphis, Cincy, SMU, etc. because they’re good teams

CaliWG

10/16/20 5:06pm

Funny but no

travelcoug

10/16/20 5:22pm

They have all been ranked in the top 25 more then us in the last 20 years.

LyleLanley

10/16/20 5:41pm

Only true for Cincinnati in terms of final ranking

Blue Cat

10/16/20 5:53pm

AAC's TV deal may be worse the MW's, and MW's is terrible.

Art Director

10/16/20 5:07pm

Would be interesting if adding BYU/BSU would give enough of a boost to get a better TV deal.

SingleStrapBackpack

10/16/20 5:21pm

BYU is less valuable to espn as a member of a group of losers

travelcoug

10/16/20 5:23pm

Perhaps, but that is a different question than I was addressing

SingleStrapBackpack

10/16/20 6:08pm

7 mil a team? That is worse than MWC? Explain.

Moops

10/16/20 5:55pm

They have to pay for their own production and they play on ESPN+.

Art Director

10/16/20 8:40pm

If we really are good, then there'd be a ton more excitement with our original

squidmark

10/16/20 5:14pm

The deal signed last year, is $1B spread over 12 years, giving each team

Everyman

10/16/20 5:21pm

Meant for Art Director.

Everyman

10/16/20 5:21pm

Still a stupid idea because we gain nothing but a trip to Toledo now and then

travelcoug

10/16/20 5:25pm

Wouldn't even consider it until the P5 TV Contracts come up in a couple yrs.

kahuna

Agreed
