Actually, the conferences are ONLY about sports. They have no control over any other aspect of the member universities. I know that people like to sell this argument, but I just don't buy it. Each conference has some stellar academic members...and some that aren't necessarily the top of the heap. As an example, the predecessor to the AAC, Big East Football. Once upon a time they expelled Temple, a pretty good school, from the conference because they sucked so bad at football. Clearly academics played no part in that decision. Like others around here, I find it funny that some turn their nose up at the SBC. I would like to be in the AAC, but I don't think we need to act like anybody owes us anything.
