Quo is a great and respected poster, who supports two different conferences. Since he has a different viewpoint, he is "sad" because he "obviously couldn't get in the school of his choice"?

Quo is sad because his school couldn't get in the conference of his choice.

What are the "two different conferences" that Quo "supports"?

Bottom line is that nobody wants to be in the AAC. Your school doesn't, neither does mine.

There's a reason for that.

Don't get dizzy from all that spinning.

Wanting into the P5 is not the same as wanting out of the AAC.

There are plenty of other options that are realistic alternatives if that were the case.

Hell, Villanova was making their case for the ACC.

I didn't know about Nova and the ACC. Could you elaborate on that? Interesting

Thanks so Nova applied to the ACC in September, 2011 while they had a standing "Uconn football upgrade" offer from the Big East, Made by the ultimate meatball.

Ah-So.. it's all becoming clear now.

I actually don't mind a negative/realist counter-balance to the rainbows/sunshine attitudes of some comments. But when somebody tries to tell you that adding Wichita State is a sign of failure, they're just in troll territory, nothing less.

There aren't, unless you think going backwards is 'realistic'. The AAC is clearly better than the Sun Belt or C-USA. But not a single AAC schools sees the AAC as their destination conference.

Everyone wants out. Everyone.

It's obviously a sign of failure: If AAC basketball were doing as well as was expected, there'd be far, far less clamor on this board among AAC fans about or interest in the AAC office in adding Wichita. That's obvious.

Now, going forward, could WSU be a good addition in that they might shore up AAC basketball? Absolutely. So I'm not saying it's a bad move.

But adding them is surely a sign that the AAC basketball league as originally constituted, failed to meet expectations. Those who though that the current AAC would be a great basketball league were wrong.

That's just how it is.

lol. Insert the standard analogy: "And I want to marry the famous weathergirl with the big booty! I don't see my girlfriend/wife as a destination."

Quo, Why aren't you on the Holy Land of Hoops questioning Villanova's loyalty. They would leave for the ACC at the drop of a hat.

You post in patterns bud. Do you really like these ritual exchanges that don't even amount to conversation?

Yup. And that they didn't promote a football plan even back then, when it was helping to hammer the nail into the Big East's coffin, should have been evidence piece number 16 million-something the school wasn't going to upgrade. Like, ever.

Not even the ACC was enough to get them motivated, even though, after they found their new rally point during the split, they could rattle something off like they would have only considered football for ACC. They love them some revisionist history over there on the Main Line.

IIRC, they weren't the only non-fb applicant. I heard Marquette tossed out there. Most/all of the football members applied, I think, but there were basketball schools, too, and more than just 'Nova.

So much of stuff is luck though. I mean the AAC had I think 32 losses this year ooc by 5 points or less. A few balls bounce differently and the AAC is very different.

you could make the argument that a lot of things have bounced totally the right way for the Big East and totally the wrong way for the AAC since 2013. Even things that were bad for the Big East like the injuries this year were a huge reason why the Big East got 7 teams in. Eventually things like that have a way of evening themselves out.

I'm not understanding your point.

You criticize the AAC's "failures" and then you chide the conference for addressing said issue.

Maybe you should watch the weather channel to take the edge off.

Ehh ECU/Tulane/Tulsa are probably stuck in some form of the AAAACC forever. The other programs have a shot to move up.

Are the autonomy conferences expanding or contracting? Are teams "moving up"? Or "moving down"? Where does a program like Nova fit in? They would take an ACC invite in a heartbeat.
Not bringing up Nova to get you hot. Just pointing out the arbitrary nature of what you're trying to discuss.

You have some insight on how the economic model will change the next 5-20 years?

Depending on what the economics look like the power group could shrink to 40-45 schools or grow to 80-85
