Better for the AAC and mountains west? I think it would. They wouldnt be getting top recruits but I bet they could get more guys who wouldnt start at a P5 but would at UCF or another solid G5 team with a chance to play in the playoffs.

I think I value the opportunity to win championships more than just playing the big name teams pretending that we are one of them. I'm ok with being in the AAC if it means we have something real to play for and we could be a Cinderella story if we just keep winning.
