AAC should target Coastal Carolina

[hightechbull]

I know these guys are in the Sun Belt, but they look like giant killers.    They have beaten P5 schools.  I read up on them and they have a big financial backer.  ECU might object, but WTF have they done lately?

As soon as their coach bolts, so to does their momentum.

99th TV market that Conway, SC sits in (Myrtle Beach)

$55M endowment (UCF was the lowest we had at $163M before they left - now the lowest are Memphis and ECU with $221m and $212M)

 

They have a solid baseball program but I agree, if the coach leaves, no one knows if they can stay relevant.

And we provide ample evidence.

Their one coach did leave/retire, and they did not skip a beat.  Moglia, their second coach has been their money man.  We need a supporter like that.

Those numbers really do look terrible if the AAC is supposed to be P6 or whatever Aresco bills us as (or billed us as pre-exodus).

It's going to be extremely difficult to keep up this P6 thingy after the exodus ..... for at least a bit.
