If the Orphan 8 run to the AAC instead of poaching it, they’re even dumber than

It should really be this easy: “Wow. So Texas and Oklahoma left. Didn’t see that

I think the AAC is trying to capitalize on confusion and people trying to rush preservation. Also, Aresco is a master

Aresco has to be nervous.

The one explanation that I have heard that is the only one that makes any sense

This. If ESPN is offering the AAC 2x their current payout per team if they add

I read ESPN offered the AAC A5/P5 status

Can ESPN even do that?

7/30/21 6:54am

Until they pull the rug out from under them when "P5" doesn't exist anymore, and

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the grand scheme is for ESPN to create a

It is the other way around. The CFP is owned by the conferences and the B12 owns
