RE: Sunbelt Expansion
All of you advocating for trying to get into the BEast for basketball must have short memories. They somewhat begrudgingly took us the last time, then bailed on us when they gave up football. What makes you think they would welcome us now?

I can't even believe that this would be a consideration. You'd give up a chance to win the conference and play in the 12-team playoffs paying millions of $$?

Some folks are smoking the drapes again.

Maybe Memphis, ECU, and Tulane as a trio in the near future?

What an utterly brilliant post! We are much better off without making the money we do in the AAC since you predict its imminent demise.

The Sun Belt's media deal pays out $500k annually. So I'm going to assume this thread is satire.

And the ironic thing is, if they all came in and went gang busters and helped to boost our league. As fun as it would be, it would most likely boost them ahead of us for B12 or ACC expansion. The programs aren't glamorous, but their media markets are what the P5 desires. 20 years ago you'd never dream of getting passed up by UCF, yet here we are.

That was my take too. That's why I played along.

It isn't just about the Sun Belt's payout. It would also be about elevating the basketball program to the BigEast, assuming they'll take us now. Which looks to have a higher payout than the AAC with football.

Also, I think the NCAA passed a rule that wouldn't let us park our football in an all-sports conference without putting our other sports in there.

Would it not be possible to place just basketball in the BigEast & everything else in the SB?
