Conference realignment, Shox Baseball, + moist towels

With the cart solidly ahead of the horse...

How would our boys of summer enjoy a series swing like the following: OSU, TU, SMU, TCU, Baylor, TT. Then after they're all warm we go up north for a lil' ChicKUn n' Kitten dinner.

Sounds like a road trip to me!

Tulsa and SMU don't play baseball, but other than that: I'm ready.

So to swing this the other direction. The impending leave of UCF, Houston and Cincy will leave just 5 schools in the AAC for baseball. Pending addtions ... anyone know how few you can have? If Memphis gets pulled we are down to 4.

I want to say it's 6. I know the WAC went through this a number of years ago for everything. But 6 may have been a temporary extension granted by the NCAA as they transitioned schools so it could be 8.

Two of the first schools that would probably get invited are UAB and USM. I don't know their baseball status though.

Looks like both have baseball.

UAB was 11-21 last year and USM was 22-9.

I really don't get the overall love for UAB. They are average in football and below average in everything else it seems.

Where’s Memphis going? I didn’t see anything on that.

Wichita was an advocate for Dallas Baptist to join the mvc.. They would be a nice addition to the AAC

The answer is 6, per NCAA bylaw 18.5.1 (a).

Solution would be to add Dallas Baptist as an affiliate member, getting them to leave the MVC. (Edit- Pogo beat me to that idea by 5 minutes!)

Current rumors is Memphis, Boise, SMU, and USF are the next 4 up if the Big 12 goes to 16. They are actively talking about it but it might not happen until after UT/OU officially leave (and probably before the 2025 tv deal renewal. Some were pushing to go ahead and grab Memphis and Boise right now.
