The guys who think the American can achieve power status by adding all-sports teams must wonder why the current and former conference Commissioners and the rest of the conference leadership made the following decisions:

1) To invite Navy to join the conference as a FB-only member.

2) To invite Wichita State to join as a BB/olympic sports member.

3) To invite Boise State as a FB member, but not as a BB member.

If those who view decisions like those as being harmful moves toward a "hybrid conference" had been running the conference, the AAC wouldn't have Navy or Wichita State today. It would have a school such as UAB, instead.
