When the Big East dissolved, WVU worked full time "24-7" to get into another P-5 Conference as did Louisville. They were both prepared & ready when the expansion opportunity presented itself. We need out of the AAC (For a P-5 Conference) not for independence.
Maybe, just maybe USF needs to learn from history.
IMHO, USF & UCF are the top 2 P-5 Expansion targets.
