It's almost laughable some of the positions being taken. A few short years ago, getting into the Autonomous club seemed like an impossible task. So the usual characters who tried their hardest to pretend the AAC was simply the tallest midget would always harp that they will never be part of the club due to never being able to attain the autonomous status. This was when it seemed like there was a chance, decent or not, of signing with a NY6 bowl. The "A" status was always their backup argument. Now it appears the bowl tie ins are going away and the AAC very well may obtain the Autonomous status...... so now the usually suspect are freaking out grasping straws to say how they are still part of the G4 even when the AAC earned a new official status and they have no reasonable argument.
