"A team like that could really help the AAC. This year's seeds for SMU and Cincinnati show the conference could use a perception boost. Wichita State's addition, the conference-realignment version of a graduate transfer, should help the conference raise its overall RPI.

At the end of the season, Aresco was optimistic about the future of the AAC.

"In two years, we'll be among the best conferences in the country," the commissioner said. "I'm totally convinced."

Now that outlook appears to be even brighter with the addition of the Shockers, a move that could pay dividends for all involved next March."


Not a smoking gun, but boy do I like the look and tone of the article.

FWIW, could not find anything from the Memphis newspaper on the AAC invite.

I'm excited too but how about a ban on new threads on this topic until someone links the press conference?

Oh shoot. I was just about ready to ask what the over/under would be on new threads between now and the end of the day of the official announcement.

Well, someone is already editing the AAC entry in Wikipedia, so it must be true. American Athletic Conference - Current Members

okay, heard through source at Memphis. Now @Power6Tigers is tweeting it. Sorry I shouldn't have started a new thread or had the hot links at lunch.

Sometimes you just can't resist the temptation.

That's a Kielbasa, not a hot link......just sayin.....a hot link looks more like a hot dog (and not like a Kielbasa).

But they are linked. Someone posted "Link?" @WstateU responded with a couple of meat products that are linked. He still has game.

Mmm. Some Earl Campbell hot links sound good right now.

Bets on who leaks it first?

A new conference brethren? Our school? A disgruntled SGA dork? Kellen?

Susan Rice? ..... Too soon?
