Interesting. I could dig it. Wish the other two schools would be the BYU aholes and Air Force.

What about travel expenses?

There are 11 football schools in the conference now. Adding 2 or 4 makes now sense. Need to add 1, 3, or 5 to keep it balanced. I like adding Boise, San Diego, and Airforce. Don't know which other teams are attractive. I would like to raid the bigxii and convince West VA and one of TCU or Iowa St or Texas Tech to throw in with the new P5 conference.

Of Course! But It makes sense for WVA. Two more desertions from the Uoftexas conference makes the bigxi the little 8 and puts them behind the American and the PAC in the pecking order. Especially if Ok and OKst joined the PAC. Nothing would please me more than really frosting Texas; unless it was frosting OofT knoxville.

WVA receives a $40M check from the Big12 so that’s a possible hurdle

Flugaur is the worst realignment guru on the planet. He has been wrong about almost everything for years.

I'm not buying it, I'm sorry. First, he tweeted that out at 8:35 AM, and he's only had a total of 52 retweets and 63 quote tweets (as of 10:49 PM). So, he's not really popular enough to be credible. Which means, he's not credible enough.

With that being said, Boise State and San Diego State will not leave to make 3-4 cross country flights a year to play games. I'm sorry, but it doesn't make sense from a logistic standpoint. I still, do believe UAB and Liberty (slim chance) will be the two most likely options. No schools entering the AAC will be "moving the needle" but I can't imagine Boise and SDSU to fly across the country 3-4 times a year.

Unlike the self proclaimed realignment guru on this board.

We need one of them channels that prints the cash.

Baby Yoda (I forget he did something)

I do recall every one of these guys claim reliable sources and imminent moves --- now they're back:-)

Flugaur puts out a two and a half minute video re his discussion with Big Ten Man and AAC expansion![

If you mean me, I'm not a liar. Flugaur is. There's a difference between getting close to something and the league not acting, and just making up crap to get attention.

Looks like he was driving to the grocery store or something and decided to pull over and do this video.

I'm sure the $30 million/year pay cut makes perfect sense.

He is a proven liar.

That guy isn't a very reliable source, so don't hold your breath on this

What if ESPN decides that the addition of WV, Boise, and BYU makes us a POWER league, worthy of $25M per team per year? Would a $15M cut be worth it for them to get more regional with at least their divisional conference mates? Is there ANY amount of cut that would make up for getting out of their ridiculous island situation. Not saying it has a snowball's chance, just interested in this dynamic.

No, because then the Big 12 just raids the AAC and takes Cincy and one or two other teams...
