Florida International

Solid program 4 bowls in last 8 years, HUGE student enrollment(54,000), Endowment $144 million, large TV market(#16) would give conference 6 of top 20 markets, State is large enough for 3 teams in AAC,

large market...yes.
But does any of that large market watch FIU?
If its down to watching FIU or Florida, Miami or Florida State...guess who they are going to watch?

I would be fine with Villanova but only if Bball comes too and they aren't about to leave the Big East

I doubt ESPN will be thrilled with a basketball only team and will likely have input in the decision to add (or not add a team) a school. If we are going by market size add FIU, TX-San Antonio, Rice, NYU (ok that was bad), etc.

it’s number of people that watch a team and I would wager FIU is pretty far down the list in their hometown of Miami as are most schools in big markets that have not been snapped up by the top 6 conferences yet.
