So the only thing he left out was saying goodbye...

BINGO

Maybe somebody has already made this point, and if so I’m sorry for being redundant, but in light of the UT/OU money the little 8 stand to get by sticking together,  the AAC needs to create demand to join.

If we’re really trying to take all 8, why wouldn’t they just wait to move until the contract runs out? On the other hand, if the AAC makes it clear that it only intends to pursue a max of five to get to 16, and is including BYU and Boise in the discussion, I could see some of these little 8 schools getting kind of nervous… 

I don’t follow this stuff as closely as some of you, so maybe I’m missing something. But saying up front that we want all 8 teams seems like a poor negotiating position for the AAC, unless ESPN is up to something. 

I recognize that the AAC hasn’t officially said it is pursuing all 8 teams; just going by what has been reported.

It’s hard to follow this stuff closely because most of it is made up. But it would make sense to try to drive demand, although nothing in the college sports world makes sense. For now crack out a cold one and keep the popcorn coming because we are in for a crazy close to summer leading into football season

I guess we'll all of a sudden hear how OU plays such great defense since they are going to the SEC...
