RE: Why the AAC's push to make itself part of the Power Five matters in college football

Plus Army and BYU. That would give you 91 schools at FBS. Would also allow for 16 team playoff. 7 conference champions and 9 at large.
Break apart. They already did. They got everything they wanted and I mean everything form TV and the NCAA. What are they breaking away firyher for? To lose non profit status? Right.

After the Wichita State addition, we will be a top 5 conference most years. Football just needs to get better top to bottom where we can't be denied in a split.

Their commissioners can rest easy.
The only stable conferences are the B1G, SEC, and PAC.
Yeah I think kittonhead just meant that MAC and C-USA and Sun Belt members by and large aren't seen as desirable by the American should it need to reload.
MAC has tons of reload options if they need to (UMass again, JMU, Dakotas), C-USA is at 14 and can stand to lose 4 members before they need to reload and I don't see that happening. So the SBC by extension is safe, and has EKU/Liberty in their back pocket.
MWC will get absolutely gutted, though.
The G's have nothing to prove and aren't facing an existential crisis so they aren't being proactive. Meanwhile C-USA gets paid in monopoly money for tv contract, MAC teams play on Tuesdays in front of empty stadiums, and MWC actually should be preparing for its survival... we could all use an Aresco...
There are a few Gs spending hundreds of millions of dollars because they do not accept the status quo. But by and large you're right.

Outside of the aac any type of major spending is student fees or debt financing.

Not even close. Mid 90's you couldn't even play for the title. This is the best even chance for the little guy. In 10-20 years, I see a real split between high attendance schools and the rest will be in a fcs type group.

What would be the goal of the split?

The remaining 90 million in CFP money and pretty much all the NCAA basketball tourney money.

Plus eliminate the competition for role players in the top conferences going to the lesser conferences for a starting spot.
