Pete Thamel on the AAC, Conference Contraction

He makes being in the AAC sound pretty appealing. Did BYU wait too long and miss its chance?

He also says conference contraction now makes more sense than expansion.

How does the 12-team playoff impact group of 5, conference realignment?

Dan Wetzel and Pete Thamel dive into the minutia of the proposed 12-team college football playoff. Hear the full conversation on the Yahoo Sports College Podcast. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you listen.

Probably. But BYU has minimal interest it seems

But what about the eyeball emojis last week?

I’ve never understood why BYU fans think we can just up and join the AAC.

Because BYU fans are living thirty years ago.

Aresco insinuated that BYU has a standing invite to the AAC when/if they want it

Video. Aresco is actually a savvy commissioner who knows what he's doing.

This video gives more insight into potential of BYU to AAC

It’s an open invite when we want

It made a lot of sense for them before this new proposal; not as much now

If the AAC could drop Tulsa and Tulane and add BYU, they'd be solid.

6/15/21 5:26pm

Those two schools were willing to take a chance when the BE was falling apart.

I’d drop others first.

Temple, Tulane and East Carolina are probably your weakest football programs.

6/15/21 6:17pm

Check again on Temple. They have a 6 yr Sagarin average of 64.

CaliWG

6/15/21 6:22pm

Your right. Didn't realize they went to a bowl game 5 yrs in a row

6/15/21 7:06pm

I get Tulane. But while Tulsa is decent, they have no support & bring nothing.

CaliWG

No conference is going to drop anybody. And guessing what the B10 and SEC want,

You are correct. BYU is not in a strong bargaining position.
