My guess is that that is the last thing they want to do. These schools are all coattail riders, they don't know how to manage on their own... they are all looking to bolt, there is a good chance that more will be gone... the conference is dead.
It was being reported this morning on ESPNU radio that the AAC is contacting each school to get them to join and then get ESPN to restructure the contract. I really hope that Holmoe is involved.
