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

No G5 conference will ever make the jump to the big time (money, prestige,

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.

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

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

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

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