This is something the AAC should (if we haven't already) approach the Big East about on the basketball side --- since I doubt there are any football conferences, of Pac-12 quality, that would be interested.

We could also schedule an alliance with the Southern Conference, doesn't mean we should.
This sucks for us. This will only help to elevate the MWC and the AAC doesn't have any conference remotely attractive that we could have a football scheduling alliance with. BE would be great in hoops, but they only really want to play 4 of our members. The hits certainly seem to keep coming.

Well, it doesnt say the Pac-12 is going to do it. That said, Ive havent noticed that we are having great difficulty scheduling decent power confernece OOC games. I think we will be ok on OOC scheduling. Im far more concerned with bowl tie ins. If the MW puts together a superior bowl line up with more bowls against power conference schools, that will certainly negatively affect the perception and recruiting for the AAC. The following link might end up being a factor in the MW bowl schedule--a newly proposed Christmas Bowl in Los Angeles.

We? Who's We?
UCF is lined up with South Carolina, Penn State, Texas, Maryland, Mizzou... we're doing just fine.
I'd love to see a AAC v BE challenge...but we're on different networks so it would be tough to work out.

Thats was exactly my point. I said I
hadnt noticed getting good OOC games being an issue for AAC schools.

So, then you agree with him? As Attackcoog said, we (as a conference) are doing fine.
This isn't that big of a deal if you think about it. CSU plays CU every season anyway. Utah plays Utah State every season or almost. Boise usually plays one of the Pac NW schools. Fresno normally plays at least 1 of the Cali schools. This is nothing but a formality.
Also consider the P12 doesn't have as many OOC options.

We have Michigan, Maryland, Tennessee, BYU, and Boise lined up. We're doing OK too. However, my point is more the perception of if the MWC cements ties with the Pac across the board and the AAC is basically viewed as the 7th man out.
I think we should use our regional and historical ties to schools in the ACC to approach them about the idea
East Carolina has
Virginia Tech
North Carolina
North Carolina State
BYU
West Virginia
South Carolina
On our future schedules, and I know UConn, Cincy, and USF have relationships with the new group in the ACC.
First, there's way too much bad blood left over from the split to do a AAC-BE deal.
Second, I don't think the ACC would do a deal because they want to assert that they are a better conference than the AAC and don't want to risk being proven wrong...
I'd like to see an AAC-SEC challenge... Lots of close matches, lots of history... Could even go with neutral site games...
I think we should handle our own OOC scheduling individually. We overlap multiple conferences and it doesn't make a lot of sense for this league IMO.
I honestly don't see anyone worth the effort signing up for any scheduling alliances with the AAC. It doesn't hurt to try, but I just don't think we will be able to get one, or a challenge or any of that. Last I heard, the SEC was trying to set up a challenge with the Big 12.
So it looks like the B1G and ACC will be linked, the SEC and Big 12, and possibly the Pac and the MWC. If that happens, it is just not good news for the AAC, period.

If that happens, the only ones left to sign a scheduling agreement with bring nothing to the table. CUSA? Sunbelt? MAC? We'll just have to soldier on. We would be better off adding VCU and Wichita.
What is the big deal? PAC and MWC teams always play each other OOC and also in Bowl Games, for
years. It makes sense geographically. Anyway, the MWC is asking for this it isn't a done deal either.

This x 1000.
Down at SMU and UH, it makes sense for us to schedule B12 schools. This year alone SMU has Texas A&M, TCU, Texas Tech (plus Baylor but we postponed this year's game).
We usually have a variation of these schools on our schedule every year - TCU is our rivalry game played in perpetuity. I know we play Baylor every year until 2020 and TAMU until 2014.

Remember Texas is your daddy. Also Memphis is fine with games against UCLA, Mizzo, Kansas, UT, and Ole Miss.
