There's some truth there, granted. But that's a big reason I prefer Marshall and App State.

2-3 Marshall who had a record of 40-57 when they were in C-USA 2.0 with a majority of the current AAC? That's the for sure improving FB add? Yes I'm pointing to really current results on the field, because any addition you think is going to for sure help football you have to point to really current FBS success because they don't have historical success.

Fair points. But Marshall is a (G5) brand name of sorts. People know them. Nobody knows UAB or UTSA and Buffalo, IMO.

Do a site visit to Huntington then tell me what you think.

I'm indifferent on Marshall joining the AAC, both as a Marshall and as a Tulane fan, but the "just visit Huntington" narrative is lazy. On the AAC board schools boast about how much things have changed in the 9-10 years since CUSA 2.0 dissolved. Same is true for Huntington. It has undergone a dramatic revitalization downtown and does not resemble the town you saw whenever you visited. I live in Denver and only make it back to Huntington once or twice a year, and every time I go I'm shocked at how much has changed.
