The AAC could have looked something like this:
Appalachian Swamp Division
Army
Central Florida
Cincinnati
Connecticut
Memphis
Navy
South Florida
Temple
Rocky Sierra Division
Air Force
Boise State
Brigham Young
Colorado State
Houston
San Diego State
Southern Methodist
Either Fresno State or UNLV
Now that would have been a very strong BOR conference with some leverage to negotiate a comparatively lucrative tv contract and much better bowl options. But with ECU, Tulane, and Tulsa in the mix, that ship sailed and the opportunity is unlikely to happen again.
please stop i cant stand why all the bsu fans and mwc change history
1) we offered fresno and unlv to join the aac. but bsu was already in talks to join the mwc bac back, they rejected because bsu sabotaged it
https://www.cbssports.com/college-footba...-football/
2) stop his ridiculous narrative that boise only left becuase this team was added...bsu left becuase they pinned both conferencea against each other and the mwc caved...boise with tulane already in said if the aac matched the deal the mwc had they would stay...we said no..boise and sdsu arent in the mwc becuase boise wanted more money than everyone else (damaging whatever league it joined)
3) ecu does 48k in football when they are atleast decent (.500 bowl team)...when they are somewhat good they are capable of doing 60k-70k, 8win+(and before they started sucking they were in talks to expand their stadium to 60k) ecu also has historic rivalries with vtech, ncstate, wvu, and south carolina, by far the biggeest local fanbase in the G5. ecu over half those teams you named
4) what ship has sailed, we are getting a way better tv deal and bowl games in 2020 when we renegotiate, our position has drastically improved..the ship has sailed for boise to be a part of it for greed...
blame the boise administration for playing a short sighted game for only self benefit..
LOL ... Boise State left because the writing was on the wall that no true western division would ever take place and the Big East that they joined was not the same as the one they left and it was for damn sure the tv contract wasn't going to be as lucrative as advertised. There's no way the fanbase would have wanted to stay in the league as it's is currently configured. There was a lot of outcry about there not being a true western division. The Big East should have stayed put rather than inviting those three schools so quickly.
Anyway, please do keep us updated on your billions of dollars contract and P6 status. :)
thats a lie!!!
there are released emails from the ENTIRE situation (from cincys old AD)
the timeline
1) Boise asked the aac for a separate deal with nbc, we said no but to provide details. that Aresco wanted to look into it and see if he could make it work for the league. Boise never provided anything
2) Boise hints that the mwc is considering it. we hold our ground saying no special deal
3) boise gets special deal from the MWC, but says if the AAC matched the deal, on all terms theyd stay..we said no
this is documented...
the only reason the true western division didn't work was because Boise sabotaged it...we started talking to fresno and unlv (confirmed), but rumors about boise leaving came days after, they rejected (likely knew boise was coming back) ...if boise had just been loyal, and not greedy, fresno and unlv come
ps Tulsa was added AFTER you left...you changed the history to fit your narrative
and the boise fanbase wouldn't have wanted to stay in the league as configured??
your league/division games would be sdsu, houston, memphis, smu, fresno, unlv ....boise fans love Wyoming games that much?..ps your AD public said your fanbase is declining at a fast rate
and who sad anything about a billion dollar tv deal...we will get 4-8mill per team on the next tv deal and will secure 3 very good bowl on top of what we have ..it isnt on the level of the other p5 but it will definitely separate us from the g4
