Why would they make, at most, a baby step up (and really, a lateral move) to play in a league where the closest teams are half a continent away? It'd be better to try to get a few out west to go independent and play a national schedule.

I don't know why you say is a lateral move, is not... I understand AAC's TV deal is not something to cheer about yet but as far as football goes, the American is the better league. Not even close.

Ya got anything other than your blind opinion to back that up? This past year the MWC was ranked the top G5 conference (AAC was 3rd) & Boise claimed the access bowl spot. The MWC also put more teams in the NCAA tourney (3-2).
