14 team conference that is Power Conference worthy.
3 very solid football & basketball programs.

Maybe add one more (Colo St or UNLV) and go to 3 5-team divisions. These 5 MWC teams would make up the West Division, and somewhat minimize travel. Two highest-rated division champs would play in Champ Game.

Or, add both and go to 16.

Think BIG! Power Conference Status is what matters and it aint happening without picking up the stronger programs in the MWC.

NOTHING we do will ever get the AAC to P5 status. AAC is at the top of the G5 and that is the best we can expect. The 3 schools you mention are 1,200-1,800 miles from the CLOSEST current AAC school. The majority are closer to 2,000 miles away. You can not expect the non-revenue teams to travel 24+ hours on the bus and then compete.

Just signed new tv contract so it will be years before we see any increase in TV money by adding teams. And not sure you would get much of an increase per team when the deal comes up for renewal.

Those teams also do not do much for TV numbers. As the MWC is now splitting just $1.1 million per team. About half of what the AAC got in its OLD contract and about a fifth of the current AAC contract.

Non-revenue teams usually fly. You think Men’s soccer takes a bus to Philadelphia?
