that ranking doesn't include anything besides football. No basketball, no research, etc. But it includes social media following.

I typically cheer for the other AAC teams to do well, but I hope Boise State runs roughshod over UCF this year.

That would be nice.  Boise State can celebrate with Albertson's cookies.

Y’all ain’t going anywhere without us and academics and endowments matter to college presidents.

Hey...I thought you would enjoy being listed ahead of Houston, Memphis...and even Cincinnati. 

If you expand it to include educational factors we would be ahead of UCF as well.

conferences should not have 16 of the same exact school. You want academic, size, geographic, etc diversity. That includes performance too. The SEC needs Vanderbilt as much as it needs Texas. Kind of but you get my point.

I am guessing they that pay the money would want 16 Texases or Texii, but I hope you are right.

You scmucks probably go to bed every night repeating that one…”just like Louisville” . Louisville got in because of a step basketball tradition and location. It wan an emergency and a one off. The same will probably happen to WVU relative to both football and basketball but not a guarantee. Cincy is ahead of both us like it or not. Again, you ain’t going nowhere without us buddy. Oh and Rutgers says “hello.”

Louisville basketball is like Texas football too. https://money.yahoo.com/richest-college-basketball-programs-america-210045624.html

They blow everyone out of the water when it comes to basketball revenue.
