Despite the loss of Louisville, the American should boast multiple NCAA tourney bids.

I saw that headline on an ESPN story and was quite dumbfounded. How is that even a story? The AAC didn't have the best season by a conference ever last year, but they certainly proved that they are an extremely good conference where multiple tourny bids is a given, not a possibility worthy of analysis as to whether it will happen or not. What other conference has as good of a year as the AAC has had only to get cr.ap like this? It's like a football writer saying the SEC is expected to have a team ranked in the preseason poll.
