Only way our membership changes from today is if the AAC replaces the likes of Cincinnati/Houston with UB as one of the schools and we need to get back to 12.

Buffalo would be better served staying in the MAC. If the AAC is raided of 4 or 5 of the top programs( Cincy, Houston, Memphis, UCF ) that conference would be just a southern based high end version of CUSA... Temple/UMASS/ and possibly Army would be nice additions even if the TV/ CFB $$ would be less per school...

MAC could renegotiate TV dollars up to get into equilibrium with what the remaining AAC is paying. From what I understand ESPN was talking about cutting the AAC's TV deal after UConn is left and with UC/UH/UM/UCF it would be all but finished.

There are some things in college sports that are non starters like Michigan and Ohio State moving to the XII. Within G5 land anything is possible between schools on basically the same level (within reason).
