I think sometimes teams just say they are in the AAC and since  no one bothers to keep an accurate list of who is in it at some point if you just claim it long enough that you are actually in. There is no way anyone can convince me that this is a strategic, good or worthwhile grouping. 

Going to be one of the easier paths to the college football playoffs so I’m actually happy about being in the AAC

I get that the Pac 12 would not be ideal... it would suck for road trips ... but a disaster?  An extra $20 million per year would not be a disaster. 

Besides, if the WAC and ASUN can join forces, USF to the PAC isn't that far fetched.

Atlantic Sun, WAC teams pairing up to attempt move to FBS, sources say

---

Members of the Atlantic Sun and WAC have agreed to form the foundation of a 10-member football-only conference with plans to join the FBS, sources told ESPN.

 

Glad to see you on the right side of history, get out of the aac by any means necessary

I thought they were Dallas...well that's good to know I guess.

Funny thing about easier paths, they tend to wear out rather quickly when there isn’t any money to maintain them.

Fastest path to the P6B!!

Speaking of the AAC, I know our Commish is pissed, but is there any talk of the AAC doing anything?

What have I been missing? All he has to do is invite App St, Ga Southern, Troy, Liberty and AAC will have the top 6 conference spot locked up every season

That would require people to talk about the aac in any other context than who is leaving and when, which I don’t think is a great recipe for ad dollars. I tried to commission chat gpt to create aac content but we got in a fight about if the aac was still a thing in 2023, if I meant ACC and if USF stopped playing football in 2010.

You can say the same thing about the big 12. Walk into any bar and ask if they can name teams in the big 12 and they would be stumped.

If you are wondering where the line is between am i authentic or am I parody, this is the wrong side of that line.

I could do a fair number of both, but we've never been in the Big 12.  

But that was before we lost three and added 5 or 6.
