American Athletic Conference

[ShockerFever]

There is an extremely large amount of smoke over here.

There is an extremely large amount of smoke over here.

Certainly a preponderance of evidence.

Using KenPom analytic rankings, I thought Shockernet might find the following comparison of conferences of interest, should the AAC expand as has been posted by others. IMO an expanded AAC compares favorably to these conferences.

AAC	K-P		Big East	K-P		SEC	K-P		PAC 12	K-P
Wichita State	11		Villanova	2		Florida	6		UCLA	16
SMU	12		Butler	22		Kentucky	7		Oregon	17
Cincinnati	21		Creighton	26		Arkansas	39		Arizona	20
Dayton	34		Marquette	28		South Carolina	30		Utah	41
Houston	44		Xavier	43		Vanderbilt	40		California	55
VCU	49		Providence	53		Georgia	56		Southern Cal	59
Central Florida	74		Seton Hall	54		Texas A&M	58		Colorado	73
Memphis	87		Georgetown	70		Tennessee	60		Stanford	99
Connecticut	88		St John’s	93		Alabama	64		Arizona State	134
Temple	113		DePaul	179		Mississippi	78		Washington	171
Tulsa	128					Auburn	80		Washington St	190
East Carolina	198					Mississippi St	96		Oregon State	272
Tulane	249					LSU	159
South Florida	292					Missouri	169

The best thing that could happen to this forum would be an admin removing the ability to change text color.

Gah...

Even if there's nothing to the Dayton & VCU rumors. The AAC should stack up favorably with WSU.

Gah...

I fixed it, looks like it was a paste in from elsewhere, which keeps the "normal" black color. With our dark color scheme, that obviously doesn't do well. Why that happens with pasted text, where typed text in these reply boxes maintains the correct color, not sure, other than I know it has do with pasted stuff retaining its original HTML formatting.

Just saw a commercial for the American. Taglines included "Where what goes up doesn't always come down" and "Where the laws of physics don't necessarily apply". I think we need to rethink this whole conference realignment thing. I don't want our players floating into outer space never to be seen again.

I prefer to read Shockernet in the lite version rather than this black version; if you are making changes please enable a poster to attach a word file.

I think this is a statement to the AAC coeds more than anything.

Attachments are probably dependent upon availability in the software update we need to do in the offseason. We will keep it in mind and see if that feature is available!

I would like for a representative of the AAC to walk up on stage as we lift the trophy and hand president Bardo a document to sign and have him sign it on stage and hold it up next to the Arch Madness trophy. Hopefully it looks like one of those giant checks people get when they win something.

Now it's white on white on mobile....

Why does everybody think this happens in 18-19 and not sooner?

[RoyalShock]

Why does everybody think this happens in 18-19 and not sooner?

Is that about the time their current TV deal expires?

[LandStander]

The deal expires in 2019 but you would think they would want to strengthen the league before heading to the negotiation table.
