C'mon, Joe, you're smarter than that. With entrance fees, exit fees, NCAA credits, retiring contracts and signing new ones, and who knows how much more, membership in every conference is "sold." There's even the backroom talk with media partners of what this would do to the current contracts and future extensions.

And you know, everyone here knows (though they argue differently), that there is WAY more to it than, "Hey, like my school? We have a lot of money! Well, no we're not an urban, resident, top research school...but MONEY!" Ultimately Presidents want to be included in the "upper echelon" of higher learning.

So, no, an alum of Akron could not win a $1.5 billion lottery jackpot and write the AAC a check.
