This would make a strong West division and limit travel to the east coast. It would also secure the AAC as the 5th or 6th seed conference champion annually in the new playoff format. Right now they are at 11 members so I could easily see them deciding to jump to 14 with the extra playoff money coming in. If word gets out that we're jumping to the AAC I'm sure it'll be everyman for themselves in the MWC. At that point we just need to work on securing a strong Western division in the AAC that limits our travel.

Realistically we won't be able to join the AAC until 2024 - 2025 because of the fines we'll pay in cancelling games. I think it's time to get our money from Notre Dame.
