App State has been beating P5 Schools, ranked teams and most G5 teams they have faced. They been a 10 win team for over a decade. We will NEVER steal a team from the Mountain West so unless we get one of the military academies (which I prefer) App State is our best option in terms of adding "quality" football

Airforce... they want out of MW

I thought we were talking about an AAC championship, that has to be worth 10s of dollars, maybe we can make up the funds with a lemonade stand.

App State has beaten 1 P5 school in the past decade (North Carolina this year).   For the most part the rest of their success has been against Sun Belt and other mediocre G5 teams.   The early part of

The point is we are not going to the P5. The music has stopped. No G5 team is worth $23 million a year. The best that can happen is one of the P5 conferences disintegrates and we would be among one of

P5 conferences may be saying the same thing about us, minus the "quality football" part

 

Wonder who's watching us outside this area. Most fans around the country can't tell us apart from our rivals to the East.

 

Not saying App State would be my first pick, but they have done well, and would be competitive I believe. If winning isn't enough, what does a school like that have to do to move up? Is the Sun Belt their ceiling? P5 fans view us they way some of you view App State.

But we are already in the AAC and they are not...

This is what I am hearing/reading as well. This is the smart play.

Irrelevant.  We're not some charity here to provide a hand up to those "less fortunate" than us.  If they can't help grow our program, then they need to stay where they are.   We did this once with mickey mouse u. and some other g5 also rans and we see where that has gotten us.

Would love to take a road trip to Colorado Springs to see USF battle Air Force!! This will also put Navy in the East so USF will be in Annapolis every other year

I would freakin love this, my sister and her husband are alumni and my niece graduated this year as well.  Beautiful place and they moved back to the springs so I have room and board.  Great trip and we can hit a dispensary if CCS is still the coach, it is a win win.

Point is, the reasons being given for not letting App State jump to the AAC could apply to us making the jump to the P5. It's pretty funny listening to folks in here seeming to have the attitude that App State shouldn't be in our league, yet think we are Big 12/ACC material.

No G5 team is worth $23 million a year. The best that can happen is one of the P5 conferences disintegrates and we would be among one of the teams that merges with their leftovers...but this new conference would not be a P5 conference (though it would be better than the AAC)...and even that scenario is unlikely. Thus, I could care less if it sounds like we are being elitist in choosing a team to replace UConn. We don’t need some small market team in the middle of the hills of North Carolina...there is no value there. Better off just getting rid of Tulsa and playing with 10 if that was the choice.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
