Who could the AAC add if they lose them all?
- another military academy combo like Army/VCU?
- is a school like Liberty appealing? They’ve been growing in football and basketball.
- maybe Buffalo? They've had some decent success recently.The Assman

EAST
1. SMU
2. Temple
3. ECU
4. USF
5. Memphis
6. Tulane
WEST
1. Colorado State
2. Utah State
3. Boise State
4. SDSU
5. Wichita
6. Tulsa
Probably need to flip SMU to the West to put Navy in the East for football but that would be a home run and solidly the 6th best conference in football plus a really good basketball league. Would those teams jump? who knows ... i think the OU/Texas crap has a lot of school rethinking things. Might be better to stop fighting to be the 6th best conference and just merge to become it. That way when the new CFP is announced, you are in a good position. Also, I think ESPN owns the MWC contract too, so they could make it happen if they wanted.

Basketball will suffer, but if we can get to the F4 in the Valley, we can do it in the depleted AAC. It won't be as easy, and we won't be able to lose much, but what's new? We've squandered the last couple easy NCAA invites anyway.
Memphis will be our Creighton and it will just be the two of us hammering away.
Now, if Memphis leaves to the MWC, we are TOTALLY ****ed.

I think UAB is one of the most likely options (good TV market, good football and decent hoops, history with Memphis, geographic fit).
It would be great if the AAC could get App State to join for football only and then poach an A10 school for all other sports (perhaps a Dayton, VCU, or Saint Louis).

I'm not sure I would call them decent hoops ... at least anytime in the last 15 years.

Andy Kennedy has the program trending in the right direction. They should be a top 100 team this year. Football definitely matter the most but at least their basketball program isn't a dumpster fire (like ECU).
