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. |

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.
