American Athletic Conference

Start getting that change out from under the cushions, gonna need more money.

I'd gladly pay more for games against better schools. Easy way to raise a little more coin.

Just got my SASO renewal letter. Better go see if we're going to AAC rates.

And what are the chance the Valley would dump any teams.

Is there even precedent for that? I don't think there is. I mean there's been splits (BE - AAC), and strong programs coming together in new ventures to leave their weak sisters behind in the old conferences, but I'd be curious if a conference has ever kicked out the coat-tail draggers and weaklings.

I've never heard of schools being ejected from a conference. We would have to take the strongest programs and form a new conference.

You can't kick a team out from a conference. You can, however, start a new conference with a similar name and get schools together that you want. Kind of like what the Big East did.

Saw some people tweeting at Paul saying they weren't sure about joining the AAC.

The total planning and execution for Operation-Overlord Planning (D-Day) for the Allied invasion of Normandy started in June 1943 and took only one year from start to finish. And this was without computers.

I was going to insert "Surely" as the first word of my comment, but for obvious reasons, settled on "Certainly, this humongous task of switching conferences could be accomplished in far less time, once a decision is made."

Paul is a intelligent man. He knows what Shocker fans want. This is the stuff that sells papers and generates clicks online.

@WheatShock: @Kel Varnsen: Temple was kicked out of the Big East for football in 2004 for being too bad

I'm hoping this week will be the week. WSU can put out a release tomorrow promising a "historic announcement" and then drop the bomb on Wednesday to get a few full days of press leading into the Final Four.
