Why is Rice so bad?
Besides doubling up on market, they fit the mold for the AAC:

-urban school
-great academic reputation
-large endowment
-CUSA football champions
-great stadium
-historic baseball power

Not advocating for expansion. Just think they're pretty cool.

Don't try to bring all of your CUSA friends into this conference. 05-nono We already took Tulane & Tulsa. Enough!

Again folks, please see the disclaimer. This is not advocating for their membership in the AAC. This is a discussion of their merits.

The only team available that I would jump for would be BYU. If you had to add 1 or 3 more to bring them than do that.

Rice would be a great addition.

There is Rice in every household..

Rice is at every wedding.

Rice is found at every corner store.

Rice is international.

Rice can be added to anything in about 15 minutes.

Why is Rice so Good?

Tulane made the cut because TV said we need another top 50 market, despite all the talk of Tulane's addition being the straw that broke the camel's back - the private Catholics wanted a private school added - the school promised an on-campus stadium for football, on-campus arena improvements, neutral site basketball at Smoothie King Center for big games, and the school is known as a very solid academic institution.

Rice should be rooting for UH to make the jump to P5. It's their only chance to escape CUSA hell and rejoin SMU, Tulane and Tulsa.
