Cast Your Vote Be a Champion or Get Paid
Have a hypothetical question. Play along here, let's say the football gods allow you to see the future and you were shown an American FB team winning The CFB NC 7 years in a row and winning a FB NC on average 1 out of every 4 years afterward ( hold your comments on how implausible this maybe, just play along) Also you see in this very same future your school is going to get a invite to a SEC/B1G/P12 in the very first year the remarkable AAC NC 7 year run starts. In this future you see, your school is one of the ones that wins one of these FB National Championship, but the football gods shows your school won't win a NC if it moves to another conference. But it will make a lot more money because of the move. The football gods give you a choice

1. Stay and be a NC in the AAC and be part of championship conference for the next 7 years and get comparable tv revenue after this 7 year run close to P5 revenue but not quite P5 money still after this remarkable run by the AAC

2. Or join the B1G/SEC/P12 and all that goes along with being member of one of these conferences,but in return for this your school will be an also run forever, never experiencing the glory of a FB NC

Cast your vote for scenario 1 or 2

For fun...keep any of your negative comments to yourself, just vote. Think its dumb just move on.

I'll humor you. Scenario 1 all the way. Scenario 2 will be choosing to become a Wake Forest or Purdue for eternity.

RE: Cast Your Vote Be a Champion or Get Paid
I have to go with scenario 2. Even this hypothetical scenario must be framed in the reality that the power conferences are eventually going to break away from the group of 5 (or NCAA) in some fashion. (So, to play along with the scenario above, imagine that the P5 are going to break away in 15 years.)

I would rather have my school awash in cash and playing meaningful brand name opponents as opposed to getting left behind with the less brand name schools down the road (even if that means an empty trophy case for football).

I would have to think that UConn winning a national championship in football and being surrounded by other champions would add value to the "brand name" of the schools in the AAC wouldn't it?

Even a Wake Forest or Purdue or Duke has success every once in a while. I tend to view these options like this:

1. become like North Dakota State. Good team, but totally irrelevant nationally.

2. become like Wake Forest or Purdue. Win once in a while, but probably be doormat status most years, but at least viewed somewhat respectably nationally.

The more I think about this scenario, if the AAC clipped off that many NC's in a row, there is no way that the P5 could refuse bringing us along with them. So, sure... bring on the championships! Those national titles should, in turn, bring on the money and power status.

Just like they did for Appalachian State (7 years later and only because the SunBelt was desperate) or North Dakota State (still without an FBS invite)? No.

Scenario 1. We play to win championships. No one can take away your championships.

The national championships we are winning in this scenario are not an FCS level. Scenario 1 is FBS Playoff championships. 1 for your school, the next 6 are from the AAC and 1 out of every 4 remaining years.

That's SEC level of play

My bad. I misread the concept. I thought this was another "let the P5 break away and we'll hold our own championships" thread.

Scenario 1 in that case. Carry on.

Scenario 1 no doubt. ECU winning the national championship. The AAC winning the championship that often. We would get a bigger contact and have more fans then the SEC. A 7 year run is a long time
