- SMU

AAC East
- ECU
- UCF
- USF
- Temple
- Tulane
- UConn
This premise assumes the Big 12 invites Cinci, Memphis, BYU, and CSU.
I would be ok with this setup here.... Not finding a spot for Gonzaga in this ^^^ lineup however tells me we're leaving $$$ on the table come basketball tournament.

Dayton, VCU, and Wichita State are as successful as Gonzaga AND within our footprint. There's no way to rationalize Spokane Washington for Olympics...

Don't get me wrong your setup is nice, I like it. I just think if we're going to feed our basketball side might as well not leave anything good behind.

If we get AFA can we get Army?
If we lose two, and can't get either AFA or Army, I vote we stick to 10, and incubate target programs. What do I mean?
Let's say AFA and Army, do in fact decide to remain pat. We're at 10, we don't need to expand, but we still have an opportunity for 3 Olympic programs to join on.
VCU - no interest in football, from most sources, better basketball and similar market to ODU
Wichita State - very clear they want football if it makes sense. Only makes sense in the AAC. Elite basketball, best support of any program out there.
St. Louis - Markets aren't really all that important for Basketball, but they don't hurt. Within the footprint, elite basketball, no football interest. 10,000 seat arena.
UMass - Obvious candidate. FB entrance would be contingent on full home schedule at home stadium, attendance requirements, budget and revenue requirements
Any other programs out there?
If we take this approach, we can pick 3 programs, 1 Olympic sport only addition, and 2 with the potential to add football once they meet requirements. Say 2020-2022.
What makes you think these teams will be picked up? Obviously preserves the AAC so that is why I ask.
