American Athletic Conference

[South Bend Shocker]

We, most of us I think, believe the announcement will be for 2017/2018. Hopefully Tuesday. If we're wrong, I suggest a 12 month absence from Shockernet. It won't be pretty.

I really doubt the announcement is Tuesday. They will not want to compete with sports radio discussing the championship game, opening day, and .......wrestlemania. Plus, many AAC ADs and some AAC presidents will be traveling back from Final Four. I just don't see it happening before Thursday.

In reality, you think they'll look for a smaller venue? Municipal Auditorium in KC will be big enough now.

FYI Municipal holds about 10k for basketball. Smaller than the 22k at Scottrade, but hardly small.

it'd work well then.

My local source here at Ground Zero (Final Four) says announcement coming later next week and doesn't just include Wichita St. Quite unexpectedly to my surprise my source says they are finalizing deals to move both Missouri St. and Loyala of Chicago to the AAC as well and bringing on Doug Elgin as Co-Commissioner.

my son played in the NAIA national tourney there one year...there were birds flying in the rafters.

You guys. Gonzaga is gonna win a title and we are gonna join the AAC in the same week.

Welcome to the conference! SMU fans are excited for WSU to join the AAC to help offset a team like UConn dragging down our RPI. Who would have thought SMU would have the most regular season conference wins, as well as conference championships since league inception?

And then next year when the Shocks win, it'll be two in a row for schools outside the P5 cartel.

I remember when WSU played at Kansas Coliseum birds where flying up top too.

If we were to win next year, it would be 3 straight outside of the P5 cartel, and going back to UCONN, it would be 4 out of 5.

It's a done deal, expect announcement this week.

Does anyone know how long our deal with Nike is? The move to the AAC has got to be worth more money.
