be interesting however
The memphis AD 6 months ago, was leery over the travel, and ability to get some subsidies on travel and rights that have to be much more, however if so, creates alot of disruption in group of 5.
memphis is the bell cow of the AAC with basketball, football.. that would really hurt. full members now
UAB, Fla Atlantic, Charlotte ECU, Temple, Memphis, Tulane, Rice, Tulsa, North Texas, SOuth Fla, and Whichita St For non football, Navy and Army for football only.
ALready CUSA lost UTEP to the Mountain West. Current membes.
Fla international, Liberty, Kenoshaw St, jacksonvillle st, louisiana tech, western ky, middle tenn state, sam houston, and new mexico state, UTEP, Delaware and mo state coming in)
Texas State is the largest in Sun Belt and it would hurt the Sunbelt.
Texas State, Ark St, Southern Miss, South Ala, Louisiana Monroe Troy and Louisana lafayette, ODU, JMU Marshall, Appy St, coastal carolina, Ga St Ga Southern.
YOu can see AAC would need to pick up a school from the SunBelt, or CUSA and if you want to move to AAC, what enhancement do you as an institution is from SBC. Also, You begin to wonder, for CUSA, is more than just FCS moved up... So, if we all think the ACC and Big 12, is shaky, and challenging, the Group of 5 is much more, and also trying to keep a budget..
