We have the AAC to thank for their stupidity, favoring huge, fanless markets to very strong football programs at solid schools with large, rabid fan bases. It is one of the dumbest moves I have ever seen in my life.
The AAC had first choice. They could have poached Marshall and ODU from CUSA, added JMU, and probably poached App and Coastal, greatly diluting the Belt. They chose another, bizarre strategy.
The AAC is being run by morons. P6, my ass! But, thanks! You managed to make the Sun Belt by far the strongest conference in G5.
Very similar strategy that CUSA used in 2012 and 2013, and we see how well that worked out for them...
