national discussion, access). Like ever. It's a pipe dream.

Big 12 champ gets an auto-bid to NY6. They’re positioned better for NY6

I think OU is better positioned by a long shot, but your point stands.

How much of that is due to the fact that they can’t play any top Big 5 teams?

We’d be undefeated with the original schedule

You might be right. The teams on the original schedule haven't been that great.

Maybe. We're a lot better now than 2 months ago, I think.

AAC anchored by Cincy, UCF, USF + BYU and also UH, SMU could be very competitive

All true. But better shot at Playoff than Indy right now. We will see in a few

Weird “pipe dream” comment btw. can’t tell where you get that. Your pipe dream?

I went ahead and totally misread your post originally. I'm good at that.

No worries. I agree with you about it!

There were plenty of teams in the old WAC that are now P5 just a few decades ago

BYUCLA

Add BSU too.

The AAC is not a good option for many reasons

The TV partners were not willing to pay more for adding two more teams.

11/9/20 8:15pm

Yep. We were in if they paid more.

I heard the contract accommodated expansion without per team pay out loss.

Samurai Jack

11/9/20 8:31pm

How? The only way that could happen was if the TV networks agreed to pay more

kansascougar

11/9/20 8:56pm

i'm frankly still surprised the other Power conferences didn't make them add

I can't believe it either

Greed. Club elitism.

I wondered if they regret not inviting us and/or Cincy for 2020 (temp members)

Relieved you mean. How embarrassing would it be for a temporary team to win
