The heart of the conference, it seems to me is urban and southern in its background. So the candidates are: Charlotte, Ga. State, UAB, Old Dominion and maybe USA(Southern Alabama). None are the top flight candidate that replaces a state flagship school like UConn, but potentially, in the future, 5 to 10 years one of those schools is a good fit for the AAC. This is dependent upon UC not moving up itself. 02-13-banana

I have not really followed UCONN relegating itself to the Big East very closely, and I would be fine with us not adding a team, but I think Ga. State is the best possible choice.

Gives us a footprint in a big recruiting state
Urban campus with a "new" stadium
Athletic Dept seems to have a bit of momentum

They would still have many of the disadvantages many AAC schools have with lack of fan support and being stuck behind a historical power, but there is enough talent in the south that they would be able to recruit a strong team.
