Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[aroth]

It’s odd that schools aren’t willing to blindly jump into a conference on the other side of the country that doesn’t have a tv contract.

Super weird that the aac guys sources tell him that the aac is more united than ever and completely stable, nothing says stability quite like having some leave in every round of realignment (even in realignment rounds of one).

There has not been a single opportunity to get out of the aac that someone has jumped on, even if it’s to go to a football free conference. This conference is death, had we been able to draw the boises and the San Diego’s of the world, instead of the south west Texas states and UCF’s boca satellite campus, then that’s a completely different conversation but they turned their nose up at the aac.

Memphis would be insane not to jump, that then makes it almost impossible to say no for Tulane and then what is left here for anyone to possibly argue they would rather stay? Being a part of the chosen is what makes people want to choose you in the future, we unfortunately missed the space bar on our athletics statement and haven’t noticed that being apart of the chosen is bad and leads to obscurity.

It’s been 11 years of trying to make the aac work which has only lead to continued defections of anyone of value at any opportunity they get, it’s not going to happen and no one wants to be here long term except this

What we’re hearing about the Pac-12, AAC and Mountain West’s next moves

We spoke with a dozen people involved in the discussions and no one sees an easy move, making it hard to predict realignment resolution.

Great article, and we are mentioned.

Joining a Frankenstein PAC Whatever would be a downgrade from the AAC. If USF is to leave for another conference, it must be the ACC or Big 10. 

Or, as the last straw to grasp at, the Big XII ...

Except he missed on giving a projection for USF beyond 2024…..

Also missed that USF tried blocking UCF before conference completely fell apart ...

If Memphis is invited to the Pac-12, the Tigers should pack their bags and move on from the AAC

I think for the most part, you could say this should be USF’s perspective too. They parallel each other real close.

IF, FSU and Clemson stay and the ACC doesn’t expand, we need to try and get into the PAC12. The AAC has been so diluted, we need a fresh start.

...but the AAC is adding Air Force!

In case you were wondering. No Escalators UConn fan is a nut. I remember him when UCONN  was in the AAC. He was shocked when USF made March Madness after he spent tons of time ripping USF. Basically he is some troll that I just laugh at. Funny at times but all too predictable.

And still providing USF a better financial situation than what is being thrown out there from the pro PAC peeps…
