I really doubt it. I do think UTSA is well positioned to be formidable at the G5 level, but the system is too stacked against them to truly belong on a list like this unfortunately. Same goes for Fresno State and Cinci.

I wouldn't include Cincy. I think they will eventually find their way into a P5 conference.

Back when we were studying the idea of adding football plenty of naysayers casted us to the lowly depths of the Southland cellar. This, even though its the BR, is slightly vindicating, and shows that we have been noticed positively.
I'm happy with it.

I totally get that, and agree, it's great press for you and the conference. Is it likely, given the power the P5 are seeking, that anyone in the current G5 is a seasonal Top 25 team by 2025? No, but it's possible.
As Niners, we are right there with you though - we've heard the naysayers as well, and we're happy as a start-up and conference mate to see you receive the recognition that you've earned. I think most of us at Charlotte would hope to see the success and recognition that UTSA has in our first FBS years.
Happy to be in a conference with the RoadRunners.

Both Cincy and UConn want out of the AAC as soon as possible. But agree UCOnn holds more promise of a big league invite.

Where they going...
The B12- Not as long as Texas is there. They will stay at 10. And as long as the B12 bend down and kiss Texas's rear, they aren't going anywhere.
The ACC- Cincy will be in the same boat as the Who, as long as the triangle is in the ACC, Cincy won't be
The SEC- Yeah that's not gonna happen
The PAC12- Not happenin with Cincy being in Ohio, plus the PAC 12 see themselves as elitist. Surprised they ever took Colorado and Utah.
Cincy is were they are for the foreseeable future.
I don't see UConn going anywhere either. Not unless the ACC can get Notre Dame to go all in and join the conference as a full member. Then they would need a 16th member to even everything out.
