Forbes - Cincinnati is once again college football's best team for the money
The American Athletic Conference might be a shell of its former Big East glory, but it's still the home of some of the best bargains in college football. In fact, though the conference was something of a punching bag for teams from the so-called power five this year, our two picks for the best bargain college football teams hail from the AAC.

Cincinnati is once again college football's best team for the money, spending just $1.6 million per victory over the last three seasons. Part of that cost effectiveness is the result of success on the field, where the Bearcats have averaged more than nine wins per season, and another part is minimized spending. In fact, a whopping 63 schools have outspent Cincinnati football, which last year spent nearly $1 million just to buy out the former contract of head coach Tommy Tuberville, who alone makes upwards of $2 million per year in salary.

Just behind Cincinnati is AAC rival Central Florida, which has won more games than the Bearcats but at a slightly higher cost, spending $48 million on football - or $1.7 million per win - across the three most recent seasons for which data is available. The Knights have won consistently despite a recent conference change, joining the AAC from Conference USA for the 2013-14 season, and have averaged more than 10 wins per year over the last three seasons. Following UCF, and rounding out the top five, are Kansas State, Oregon and Mississippi State.

Just think what UC could do if they had P5 money!

Great proof source about the incredible return on investment that UC football has achieved. Imagine an infusion of P5 cash and recruiting clout along with the new Nippert?

Any P5 "needing" a team in a major TV market ought to be pretty impressed. We can be certain this has been shared with our distinguished out of town guests who have visited recently.
