Western Expansion: AAC already said "Meh" to SDSU by themselves.
Reading the BSU thread and the current MWC vs AAC thread on your board, people were still talking up an eventual Western Expansion of the AAC in various forms, either with pods or without, etc.

Something that is under-mentioned, IMO, is that the AAC doesn't seem to have worked very hard to keep SDSU in the fold after Boise State went back to the MWC.

The arguments for the coast-to-coast best-of-the-rest or western expansion etc all would support SDSU in the AAC for football. Pacific time zone games, big metro area, southern California exposure.

For SDSU, I think they'd rather be seen as distinct from Fresno State, San Jose State, UNLV and Nevada-Reno than grouped with them. Association with the AAC schools wouldn't hurt at all. (OTOH, they'd be in the Big West with a bunch of other Cal States...)

I understand the arguments made for a western AAC wing, etc. But as my title says, the AAC had a shot at SDSU by themselves for football-only, and basically shrugged.

After Boise backed out, SDSU was more or less pushed out. There was no desire aside from message board posters to have a full western division. Ever.

Boise State and SDSU only wanted to go to what was then the Big East for football only if they had a travel partner. SDSU didn't want to join the Big East for football if they didn't have a western travel partner.
