All I said was that people on here would be crying if LaTech joined our league and beat us. Then someone said I was being facetious.  I wasn't joking. I watch most of their games. They weren't as good last year at the prior 2 but they would have given us a tough game.

Sorry I didn’t mean for it to be an attack just pointing out that you can be a bad team with a serviceable coach and still beat the breaks off of us the past two years.

Yes because if you aren’t one of the ones tripping all over yourself you will be one of the ones left behind. People are leaving for the B12 one way or another and there is not a single chance of a single team from the B12 ever playing a single down in the AAC, there is absolutely no motivation for them to do so and the AAC is not a united front that’s been together forever it’s a marriage of convenience made up entirely of teams looking to get out and move up at the first chance they get. Three B12 teams rebuilding is a huge step down for all of them but an even bigger step up for whoever gets out of here and joins them. Kind of like when the Beast was left to  three teams and rebuilt this abortion of a conference to make the worst place we have ever been but the best any of them have.

I think the AAC should snatch up Kansas for their basketball program. With Duke, Wake, FSU, Louisville, and Kansas the ACC would be a power house bball wise.

This **** is getting crazy. It may not matter where we end up if this happens

Would you have bet on Uconn, UC and USF forming their own conference? The remaining B12 has more brand equity a better physical location to hand pick the other conferences and will have a bigger runway from the defectors. I would gladly trade whatever three were left for the "best" of the AAC so why on earth would we build a conference based on keeping every member of the AAC, with a bad TV contract instead of using the foundation of what is left, hand picking from every conference below and probably BYU ? It just makes no sense and the AAC is not operating from a position of power simply if it at the moment has more members than the B12 because the second they invite anyone those numbers will change immediately. 

The Big 12 is dead conference walking

TCU might survive realignment, but college football — as we know it — might not.

The articles only take on salvation via the aac is not a viable option because $7.4 million is garbage and no one is going to join it. A conference with the B12 and as many teams as it has remaining pulling from its best options and negotiating its own tv deal is the best option for anyone that can’t get into the P5, joining the AAC with all of its teams and it’s tv deal is a nonstarter for anyone that is in a real conference.
