HOWEVER, certain programs in the AAC have been SO AWFUL FOR SO LONG that their own alums don't care about them, much less their opponents.

UTSA, MTSU, FAU, FIU, WKU, Charlotte, and ODU are excited about where they are, where they are going, and what they are trying to achieve. UCF and USF mimic this in the AAC.

C-USA and the AAC are VERY similar with the AAC having more tradition, better facilities, stadiums & arena's, athletics departments, TV contract, money period and a lot more but also more troubled programs.

Truth is, we're all looking at the Big 12 because it's the powder keg that's going to cause the next round of realignment. The longhorns won't sit idly by and let the aggies out-earn them. We might be waiting 10 years, but something is going to happen there.

You might be able to pin point one sport for each school that has been "so awful for so long" but in the AAC every single school contributes some way or another in a sport.

There are plenty of CUSA schools that have been SO AWFUL for SO long in just about everything and honestly don't contribute anything..

Did you just compare CUSA schools to AAC schools and can say we have more troubled programs than y'all?

I think thats a petty comment, to just think most of CUSA schools are small schools just trying to peek their heads out of the water.

CUSA is a conference of underdog schools trying to progress in athletics.

SBC & MAC are kinda of just sitting ducks.

AAC are schools that are highly progressed athletic departments and schools boarder lining the "big boys" (P5)

Its a latter, we're not on the same step.

jmo

You lost me at boarder line P5...

Many rumors go around talking about P5 conferences nit picking our conference apart in the future.
I wonder why?

Because many schools in our conference are already P5 ready.
Hense me saying we're boarder line P5 conference.

So, if what you say is true, the CUSA schools are AAC ready.

no, all the schools in CUSA that are ready for the next level have already moved or are moving this year.

Luck won the game for you last year, this year wont be the same.
Sat, Sept 20, 2014.

Cant wait, should be a great game

And what about the other four out of five wins we've enjoyed in the current series?

I'll never forget the Memphis fans reaction to this series being signed...

"We'll win the first few games handily and buy out the remaining games..."

Now you guys need a win this year just to get to 2-5.

MT is peeking right now and Memphis is in a very big slump, this does not surprise anyone from what iv seen here in Memphis.

You guys beat us at your best and us at our worst, congrats?

Following that logic, the P5 ready schools are already P5.

You can't have it both ways, either there are borderline P5 schools in the AAC and borderline AAC schools in CUSA, or we are all what we are.

There are borderline P5 schools in the AAC. In the next few or more years they could for sure be in a P5 conference. But I don't think that the AAC would touch any remanding leftover or new cusa schools with a 10 inch pole as of right now. they got what they wanted already. The only way I can see that happen is if it was there last option after being raided by P5 conferences.

If they touched Tulane and ECU they will touch anyone.

The only things that matters are budgets, because facilities and coaches can be bought. Tulane, ECU, etc. (I assume you meant Memphis, Houston, UCF, Cincinnati, SMU, Tulsa, USF and even Louisville) had the highest budgets in CUSA, so that is that. And if you are just thinking about one sport (I am assuming basketball) then you ought to know better, because one of those high budget schools (SMU) bought a Hall of Fame coach and another one of those schools (Houston) just hired a very good basketball coach. So money is the answer.

Hard to take any Memphis fan seriously regarding realignment, your logic is beyond flawed, but keep saying it enough and you may convince someone other than yourself.

ECU football alone is amazing, they're a great add and can expand other sports with the money they will make. They're actually one of my favorite adds. now Tulane, you have a small point. they haven't really done much at all. But by adding them they're going to give us a champ game. and they could for sure get better with our resources. they've already about done with there on campus new stadium and have agreed to play there basketball games that are major in the New Orleans arena.

I don't believe memphis is really better of a program than MT even with basketball. I think we're on about the same level when you consider other sports too. I just think we over the years are a lot more of a brand name from our success. we get attention for basketball, and it really has carried us. maybe even one day we will expand our football and try to keep a constant decent team because of the opportunity basketball made with money ect. (what we're working on now)

MT has great roads ahead. CUSA has been apart of growing many many athletic departments into great P5 schools. I have no doubt MT is one of the schools ready to sprout.

& I'm not sucking up to you or anything, I honestly believe this.

One day he and I were talking about Rice, because he knows that's my favorite team. He asked me "Who even cares about them? The only reason we know about them is because we live in Texas, but no one else cares." I responded to him that indeed not many care, but I told him that I like pulling for the underdog and I like pulling for schools that emphasize academics over athletics. I also reminded him that my dad started taking me to the Rice games when I was only seven years old. He understood. I like being a fan of a team that doesn't have throngs of supporters. I don't want to be like everyone else and I despise fair weather fans.
