Would be interesting if USF is still in AAC by then. But it looking more likely that both UConn & USF will be replacing FSU & Clemson in the ACC

UConn  (ha ha ha)

its funny since at the time when the ACC added teams Uconn seemed like a done deal until there was a last minute push to add Louisville instead.

I think just like us, Uconn's stock has gone down recently, but if they start winning they could be included the next time. Same thing for us.

It will be nice when we beat them next season!

SMU is looking likely to beat USF out of the AAC. But don't take that personally or as an insult. You can do a lot to make yourself an attractive expansion candidate but timing luck is still needed. A conference that can fit SMU just happened to have an opening now. But still wait and see if they'll really get the invite and not get the rug pulled from under them at the end.

No worries there. I'm sure everyone around here will be cool as a cucumber if that occurs .....

WHY?

"What I can tell you is that the B1G is considering bringing on UO and UW but they would not get the economic benefit of the other schools, they would get half of it".

Seems like one of the infamous Twitter "spaghetti throwers" confirmed (?) this.

He also added this...

For comparison, the current AAC contract for all sports is $240M per year.

This whole process is so silly.  I am still praying for the meteor.

Has anyone considered just using the stadium money to buy our way into a conference? If it's 40m per year to each school, that would get us 6+ years if we pay for ourselves! Clearly we could wheel and deal here and still pull off an OCS..

Hmmm...how to phrase this politely. 

Well, you see, yes you do have the entry fee, but - um....uh...let's just say that we don't feel you'd be a good "fit" for the conference.  We've looked at your resume and we think that you'd be well served to polish your skill set a tad more. Once you get a little more seasoning, I'm sure we can revisit the option. Make no mistake! We will keep your resume on file and promise to be in touch should things change. In the interim, take a few minutes and visit with Mohammed, Jugdish, Sidney and Clayton. They're also interested in joining our conference.
