AAC sponsored sports. Football, Baseball, Basketball, VolleyBall, Cross Country, Track, Tennis, Swimming/Diving, Golf, Softball, LAX, Rowing and Soccer.

I think participation in sponsored sports will have an impact on the AAC's decision.

Southern Miss doesn't participate in LAX, Rowing, Men's Soccer and Swimming/Diving.

UAB doesn't participate in LAX, Swimming/Diving and Rowing

Georgia State doesn't participate in LAX, Swimming/Diving and Rowing.

Charlotte doesn't participate in LAX, Swimming/Diving and Rowing,

Old Dominion doesn't participate in Softball, Track and Cross Country. ODU is already an AAC member in Rowing. Plays LAX in the Big East.



With 7 Catholic members, I see the A10 affected by UCONN's decision as the Big East may pluck one of them.

A move to the AAC may not necessarily improve ODU basketball (See UCONN). A move to the A10 with 3 instant rivalries would, in my opinion.

If the A10 has an opening, ODU goes to the A10 and moves football to the MAC with UCONN and maybe JMU and Liberty. ODU is already a MAC member in Wrestling.

If VCU is invited to the Big East, I believe ODU would lobby for one as well. I'm sure ODU would accept a Big East invite over one from the AAC if they both happened at the same time. ODU already has LAX and Field Hockey in the Big East. However, a full invite is a long shot for sure.

Of course, if the AAC invites us before any of these scenarios, ODU would accept it.
