This isn't a good poll.

Where is the "None of the These" option?

That was my first thought when I read the list. If the AAC can't get BYU or Army at this time (which they won't) the conference will stand at 11 and 11 until the next potential realignment period in 2025. Since UConn will not be able to leave their FB they may stay for 2 years anyway instead of 1 year to give the AD a chance to work on an independent schedule for 2021 and also to keep the exit fee as low as possible going out the door. If I was Aresco I'd keep UConn on as a FB only until the next realignment period before taking anyone off that list or try for a MWC member (Air Force - CSU - New Mexico) before looking at that list too.
.

Only options worth discussing (ALL SPORTS):

Option #1 (One of these five):
Buffalo
Rice
FIU
ODU
Georgia State

Option #2 (ALL of these five):
BYU
CSU
AF
NM
Rice/N. Texas

Option #3 (Staying at 11 is a great option):

NONE by a landslide.

I won't vote until this poll reflects serious candidates. How do you include Troy and go on to argue why Colorado State wasn't included? Complete nonsense.

VCU is the only school close to likely and you've ignored them again. Do you guys know what basketball is down there on the Gulf Coast?

Bc VCU does not have a football team and a basketball only won't be added

This statement has more logic and intellectual reasoning than any logic or intellectual reasoning behind the poll presented above. There will not be any BB / Olympic addition unless a FB only member like Navy is added first to balance the league at 12 and 12.

None. The AAC will be fine at 11. BYU is the only school that adds value. All the others are just an additional mouth to feed.

Can somebody add "None" to the poll so I can vote?

Southern Miss, Georgia Southern, and South Alabama would be the best fits.

I am very interested in this "Georia State" program.

Does anyone know anything about them?

The person you quoted is the same person that made the poll.

And to the others offering up the "none" option; that was intentionally left out. The purpose of the poll is for you all to see the AACs legitimate options, if it were to add a 12th team. We all know the "none" option would receive the most votes, but that would serve no purpose. Why? Bc this is a vote on the best team to add as a 12th. Btw, a 12th team will likely be added amongst the above proposed, so vote up.

These G4 fans are really trying hard to get us to discussion their crappy schools.

BYU/Army/Boise or stay at 11. It is pretty simple.

I voted for ODU even though I hate their bad stadium. It is a shame because they really should have it be a 30-32k stadium.

lol you are the master of confusion

None is the best option and a legit option. It should be included.

If you know this already (and I agree) why even do the poll then?!

"Hey folks, we know that nobody wants any of these schools and so None would be the most popular vote, but if you had a gun to your head and HAD to pick, who would it be?"

That's not how teams are picked, so whats the point??

You are already admitting this poll isn't realistic by your own statement. And if it isn't realistic, then why not just go ahead and include Army, BYU, Boise? And further, there are MWC teams that are indeed realistic choices. Maybe not Boise, but several MWC teams have already reached out to the AAC office.

None of the above. I defer selection until forced to go to 12 without better options.

See that sentence you bolded and quoted above? Did you read the two sentences before it? How about the sentence after it? Bc those sentences answer exactly and specifically your two questions.

Things are starting to make a lot more sense to me regarding the Bearcat Nation.

3) VCU+ a football only
4) VCU with no football only

I am not sure why you guys keep thinking VCU would accept an invite. They can schedule just fine OOC and the A10 is a tight league that is only slightly worse than AAC in basketball. Regardless of how good the A10 is (as last year was a down year for them and for VCU) they still got an 8 seed. That is pretty much their floor. Why would they leave to join a conference that is football first? Think they stay put unless other top A10 teams leave.

2019: AAC #6; A10 #11
2018: AAC #7; A10 #11
2017: AAC #7; A10 #8
2016: AAC #8; A10 #7
2015: AAC #8; A10 #7

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, I don't peek in other threads we aren't invited into :D

If those are all of the legit options, then 'none of the above' is the only legit option. Bearcat nations idiosyncrasies notwithstanding, they are right in this case.

BC1 in pure meltdown mode over this thread.
