Looks like they're in for everything but football.

That'll bring the revenues in.

It absolutely will. Wichita adds no cost and brings a legit basketball team who has a history of going deep into the tourney earning money for the conference. If they had been in the AAC the past 5 years, they'd have earned roughly $24 million for the conference. I don't know how all the distribution would work out with members, the Big East,, etc., but I know $24 million is a **** load more money than we've made for the conference in that same amount of time.

Would love to add WSU. Aligns with the current universities very well and pushes basketball to 12 members. American needs to stay competitive in expansion. The prime directive needs to be regaining power status and this move would benefit that.Im not sure about their other sports though.

This is a no-brainer. Adding a non-football school shouldn't freak anyone out. It isn't like the Big East where there was almost an even split between the two factions. As previously stated, WSU would add units that would increase the AAC's payouyt from the NCAA for the tourney. Get it done.

Has anyone hinted at any other adds. Such as VCU, Dayton, Army or Air Force? Just curious.
