God if expansion does not happen at all I will LMAO. That would be a classic from so many perspectives. 

Expansion may not happen but speculation will live forever until sun goes out.

Ironically, if this is true, ESPN might actually be saving the AAC, instead of further marginalizing it.

Stop the insanity. This Bills guy is now destroying the best thread of all time 

Actually this really does fit right in pretty well with how this thread has gone since page 1.

Only as a collateral issue because they pay a pittance to the AAC for its broadcast rights.

tl;dr: 

• Bowlsby on hotseat
• ESPN has supposedly notified conference that NO combination is attractive & willing to take it to court
• No consensus from current members that anyone has even 8 votes.
• This is all setting the stage for the networks to pay the current 10 members a few million more apiece NOT to expand.

The title of the article asks two relevant questions.

The answer to both is a clear no. As for Bowlsby, all 10 Presidents are 100% behind him, as he is acting explicitly at their behest.

The entire thing in the link is just silly clickbait and its sad that so many fall for it so easily.

It would then be up to the member schools to increase the quality of the product (which I believe we are doing), which would then result in more demand, and thus more $$$$$.

Unless there was some sort of stipulation in the contract that they had to approve the additions, would they even have a leg to stand on?

Come on, now ... I've been pimpin' this thread like a University of Memphis president. There have been some sketchy posts, though, even outside of our wackadoodle Buffalo buddy and it's **** tempting to do a little clean up.

We want it to be a legit 1,000 pages after all, don't we?

If you do clean up, you'll have to start about 900 pages before this one, and go through them all.  This thread has been to hell and back ... multiple times.

You sure you wanna take that on?
