Agreed......they fit our urban profile perfectly.

We bought the 166 acre the chargers stadium sits on. We will be build the new stadium, then tear the old one down to expand the campus. More housing, classroom, hotel, commercial buildings and a river park. Once completed we be able to increase enrollment by 15K.

Sounds like a really good add even if the numbers are shaky for now. That level of growth could be... ...devastating if SDSU gains the exposure for it.

Why in the hell are you making less than Boise State in a TV deal? You're an appreciating asset.

The AAC has room for 1.

I'm pretty much against anything from the state of California these days. Whack jobs. No need to be associated with the AAC, to be honest. Nothing against SDSU... just your insane state.

I wouldn't want any of that insane commie nonsense infecting the American.

Do you realize how liberal Tulane is? Also, do you realize how liberal Philadelphia (and Temple by proxy) is?

We're a bunch of urban schools. ECU is a conservative rural school - and is the exception to the rule.

...and I have no problems with conservatives whatsoever.

This is going to transform SDSU and increase enrollment by about 15K when all said and done.

On joining the AAC. We need BSU and BYU to come and for split division olys so travel is limited. The dynamics with ESPN, losing the MW, and needing the last time slot of content means there is a chance ESPN offers enough $$$ to make all sides jump. However, ESPN would need to get AAC autobid status to make sure their investment pays off. For all those reasons nothing happens at the moment and maybe ever. Boise blew it backing out the first time.

I think a couple of defined rivals without divisions is the best way to schedule in the AAC. Then use SOS to fill out the other games. The AAC maximizes TV value by making sure all of its top teams play each other, and if the CFP is really a goal all of those teams could use the SOS boost. Then the top 2 teams play in the CCG. If Boise, BYU & SDSU are added have them play eachother H/H and then each only has to make 3 trips east of the rockies.

Most colleges are liberal. Most big cities are liberal.

ECU is not conservative by any means. Liberal faculty out the wazoo.

Is it in a rural area? Yes. Greenville is a liberal city because of the university.

Louisiana is a conservative state. Pennsylvania voted red in 2016. I fail to see your point.

California is beyond crazy. Liberal is one thing... California is like another country, and is not a fit for the AAC, especially considering there are so many Texas and Florida schools in the AAC.

Nice job. I wonder if this is a hat in the ring for PAC membership down the line. Keep raising academic profile, enrollment and athletic dept.

San Diego is a military town with a Republican Mayor. This region is not like the rest of the state, it's pragmatic by comparison.

Not getting into politics, I ran out of happy pills just living in NYC... But I like SDSU, and up until 2018 San Diego was my dream retirement community.

Yes it is. We are getting ready for realignment round 2 come 2023-2025. PAC, BIG XII or a BOR conference is likely. I don’t see us remaining in the MWC long term.

Yup. San Diego is one of the best cities to live in the USA. Love it!

Been to San Diego many times. I didn't think it felt liberal. Had a home in SLO county and it wasn't liberal. Orange county isn't liberal. The rest of it though....
