Cheers!
I would prefer not to play AFA basketball ever again. But, AFA is a great add to AAC football and their Olympic sports need a home.
And, if it helps the AAC add Gonzaga, BYU, SDSU, and Wichita St. basketball.....what's the big deal about adding an easy win to the schedule for half the conference?
The reason why WSU is a great ni brain add is geography there are almost no negatives to adding the shockers. They are in the conference footprint, come with great support, a proven track record and no football to fill in for Navy as a football only.
Adding the western schools pulls this league apart and stretchs both time zones, cultures, and conference identity. The eastern schools mentiined also tighten up our geography, but dont fit as nicely to match Navy's western division football only.
I expect WSU to get the invite.
Dayton/VCU maybe and would probably create a stable conference for many years even if some teams leave with the next conference realignment. Depends though as there are a lot of ifs with these two (or St. Louis), but could be many positives.
BYU, if they want all sports we'll take them and figure out how to sort it later, also means another football add somewhere.
SDSU, Gonzaga, St. Mary, any school other than BYU west of the moutains is a never. It wont happen too many ifs, not enough positive possibilities, more instability within the league.
So long story short, I think WSU is in and give Dayton and VCU a serious look.
