Also, I can’t believe some of the posters here think adding BSU and SDSU is going to somehow guarantee a monopoly on the G5 bowl. Do those teams dominate the G5 bowl bids? I wonder how many southern football teams are going to look forward to those November trips to play on frigid blue turf?

Also, Navy can play Notre Dame in San Diego if they want to make the trip. You know there’s a giant naval base within the AAC footprint, and there just so happens to be a university right down the road?

Good luck!

Stability is not possible. Every single American Conference member would eagerly enter a Thunderdome match if a P5 conference showed the slightest interest in adding the winner.

Nay, the goal is to be in the best conference we can piece together for the next decade.

Cincinnati has been in 5 conferences in the last 30 years. We're like the Michael Scott Paper Company: if our conference falls apart, we'll just start another one. And another one. We've got plenty of new conference names in mind. (Conference Americana! USA Athletic Conference!)
