2021-22 Basketball happenings around the American Athletic!

[wichshock65]

As SHOCKvalue said, Dayton football doesn't matter and is just above VCU football which is club level. If a school with club level football doesn't scare you, a school with non-scholarship football shouldn't either. Do you think Drake having non-scholarship football makes them more focused on football than basketball? Hell, there are schools with FBS football that aren't football schools. Quite a few.

And personally, when it comes down to VCU and Dayton, I tend to lean towards Dayton because of the crowd support they have. They're generally one of the best attended programs in the country and that speaks volumes. VCU is well attended, but has less than half the capacity as Dayton if I remember correctly.

I'd take Dayton in a heartbeat for BB. Rabid fan base. Much like ours.

As expected. Now that Air Force and CSU are near locks for the conference, I kind of hope we add Army/Dayton or Army/VCU as the 4th (UAB being the 3rd). It would be cool to have all three service academies in the same conference for football and Dayton or VCU would be a better basketball add than any other school I have seen in the expansion rumors.

I would both those schools. One is 4 and the other 7 hours from Atlanta. I would go to every BB game at either.

Lots of favorable stuff about Dayton. Home of the 1st 4 in the NCAA tourney. If an AAC team ends up in that group, it's helpful to have played there. $75 mill upgrade to their arena in 2019. Top 35 for basketball attendance since 1969.

My favorite thing about Dayton will always be that youtube video of a guy reacting to selection sunday pairings and he was in one moment excited at the Dayton seed, and then WSU pops up and he instantly screams "WICHITA STATE....SH|T". I wish I could find the video now haha

Swing and a miss for the AAC, IMO. Ooof.

Swing and miss? Sure. Unexpected? Not at all. As has been said before, there is no reason for Boise to do anything until the B12 decides what it's going to do in a couple of years.

Sounds like the MVC is gonna add Murray too. Only took Elgin retiring for them to be proactive. Murray is a much better add that Belmont IMO

[JayPak]

Public/private tension in MVC is such that you can’t add three straight privates without adding a public.

Does Missouri State still have a herd of cattle they can sell to offset additional travel expenses?

Missouri State probably doesn't care because they're convinced that they have a sealed envelope from the American about being the 4th school to be added.

[Stickboy46]

CSU and AFA backed out .. yea .. this is bad

They are really delusional now

Yup .. Boatright needs to be working to find us a new home. We are going to add a bunch of football only schools (schools that can only afford to support football and field crap other teams) in the south.
