College football rules everything in perception of conference as a whole, our league literally just got better with the subtraction of UConn.

UCF, UC, HOUSTON, TEMPLE, MEMPHIS, NAVY and USF have all been in the top 25 for football within the last 3 years

Basketball: UC, HOUSTON, whichita state,UCF and smu have all been ranked in the last 3 years

UCONN was not ranked in ether sport in the last 3 years.... cya later🤗

I think most of the football teams we would want to add are out west. BYU, Boise, etc. With the exception of Army. Army would really only be a good add for the Navy game which is one of the most watched games of the year. And I don't know how you schedule a game like that which is typically played after the conference championship games and therefore the only game in town (which is why it gets such high ratings). You put that game in the middle of the season and they don't do college game day there and the viewership goes way down.

I think Boise seems unlikely. Adding Army really only makes sense for the Navy game. So BYU (football only) is really the only one that moves the needle enough to make sense to add anyone. AAC is in a good position right now with a new TV deal and none of the other power conferences (football) adding teams right now. We can be picky. Teams should be knocking down our door.

In terms of basketball I would say the same thing. We don't need to be adding teams just to add them. They have to add value or we just stay with what we have. Who moves the needle? Gonzaga? lol. Maybe a team like VCU can move it a little?

Army is actually going to be good in football again, they had a rule for the longest time for west point university about every cadet being at a certain weight, so they never could get a big o-line. Ever since they switched they’ve been really good, they have a really good qb and there boosters are unbelievable.

I’ve been to 2 army navy games there’s no way they won’t do it any other way and it’s more publicity for the aac anyways. If army would join for football I’d be shocked if the aac turned them down.

So how do you do it? Play a conference game after the championship is already settled and has no bearing on a bowl? You would have to keep them from playing each other during the actual season??

play the very first day the ncaa would allow one day earlier and be the kick off to the season.Example, prime time game espn at 8pm to kick the season off August 30th Navy vs Army from the AMERICAN aac ??? just a thought

UCF, Houston, Cincinnati, Memphis, USF are the core All sports programs of the AAC. Losing one of these would stink and the Big East isn't taking any of them.

Count me as not worried. The Big East was below average last season with a pathetic NCAA performance. The BE is just a shell of it's former self plus no football.

The reconfigured big east will take a hit when Wright hangs it up or moves on from Nova. He's the linchpin that holds it together nationally. In a lot of ways he benefited more from the breakup of the league than anyone. His last several years in the old configuration they had declined from when Uc first got into the league, and without butting heads with the Uconn, Syracuse, Lvl, Pitt's et. al he was somewhat reborn.
