It is a problem the AAC could have if they expand for the sake of expansion and stretch the conference through all four time zones. Even P5 conference who go too far out of their region are having problems. Most consider the Big 12 as the weakest P5 health wise. Adding West Virginia makes it difficult on the non revenue sports.
You must factor in the non revenue sports when expanding. Many of them are going to be on the road long periods unless they fly.

I agree with him. In the long term, I think the best G-5 schools will form their own league and compete with the P-5 (a true P6) or the P-5 will pick off a couple of AAC schools to quell its P-6 quest. Either alternative will force the remaining G-5 schools to accept ESPN's bribe and compete in a G-5 playoff. JMHO.....
