38 Appearances, or 3.8 per season.

The key is the fact that within the last 4 years, investment at the Florida schools, the Texas schools, Tulane (under Dannen), etc, has ramped up significantly with the new conference.

So, a 10 year average fails to show the impact of the realignment, which has been marked. Look at SMU for instance. That number doesn't include getting left out last year. Stretch their AAC run over 10 years.

I don't think you can quantify a range at this time. Exposure and conference prestige has made those different jobs, as evidenced by the influx of new, more accomplished, coaches. Even Gregg Marshall has made mention of the fact that his job is entirely different now. He essentially created his own promotion.

Basically, don't use that metric because it doesn't promote the AAC as being closer to a "power conference" rather than part of the G5. Got it.
