14———
East: Temple, Cincinnati, ECU, UCF, USF, Memphis, Tulane
West: Navy*, Tulsa, SMU, Houston, AFA, BYU, Boise St
Non-fb: Wich St (West)

14 would be a lot more likely than 16.

BYU is the only potential FB member with a good BB program.

To have 14 members in all sports, there would probably have to be at least two non-FB members, perhaps VCU and Dayton.

P5 (Top 50) Quality FB Programs:

1. Cincinnati
2. BYU*
3. Memphis
4. UCF
5. Boise*
6. Navy
7. Air Force*
8. Houston
9. SMU


P5 (Major 7) Quality MBB Programs:

1. Cincinnati
2. Memphis
3. Houston
4. Wichita State
5. VCU*
6. Dayton*
7. BYU*

The AAC could receive as many as 7 (rather than max 4) NCAA bids.

Jed,

I feel Temple, Tulsa and SMU are major MBB programs. That would yield 10 on the above list — which would be strong.
