The American Athletic Conference is better than any G4 conference.

Frequently, fans of G4 conferences argue the ACC is little or no better than theirs. Occasionally, there are losses by a AAC team to one in a G4 conference or a G4 team plays in the NY6 game or in a tournament. These successes do not mean they are as good as the AAC.

A school can take steps to enhance athletic performance such as
increase budget
raise coaches salaries
build or improve facilities
increase recruiting efforts
increase promotion expenses
play stonger competition.

There is not a single G4 conference school that has made efforts in most of those items while the AAC schools have made commitments. Most G4 schools have small number of alumni and small fan bases. Their fan contributions do not support the efforts and the administrations are not committed to improving
their programs.

Any combination of those items does not mean a team will win a single game during the following season. They do mean performances will improve over time. As the AAC schools improve in each of those items the distance between AAC programs and those in the G4 conferences will continuously get larger.

The AAC acts. Any G4 conference could have invited WSU. They did not. Memphis loses an outstanding head coach. His replacement may be better. UCF has a coaching problem and hires one that is in high demand in his second season. Part of that demand is because of UCF's location and program. Any capable coach can succeed there.

The American Athletic Conference is not only better than any G4 conference, it will become much better. No one will compare the AAC to any G4 conference in ten years.

They could have invited, but WSU would not have gone. The Mwc is the only one that may have pulled it off.

And before the G4 infestation comes:

P6 does not mean that we think we are on par with the SEC and Big10 today. It does not even mean we expect those five conferences to just open their wallets and hand us money.
It means we are closer to those five than to the G4, in on and off field measures.
Medium term success of this is in a bigger medua contract in the next couple years. Long term success is being in the right side of history in 2025 after the next big shakeup

And we all have a P6 flag we run out with the team entrance at each game.

AAC has some pretty solid programs... Football, basketball, baseball etc., every year this league continues to WOW.

AAC is solid I like this league.

Cool! What contract bowl does your conference champ go to?

Has Rutgers ever been good at anything besides getting skull-dragged across various playing surfaces?

The same one Rutgers will go to. And next year, and the year after that, and the year after that.

Funny thing is that our conference champ has the same odds as Rutgers does to appear in that B1G contract bowl.

LOL at a Rutgers fan talking about contract bowls.

Rutgers will NEVER get within six wins of qualifying for a NY6 game.

Pretty sure Wichita State has as good a chance of being in a contract bowl as Rutgers.

Being the new kid to the AAC from the basketball school, I'd say the AAC's odds are BETTER than Rutgers at reaching that B1G contract bowl! Just sayin....

Rutgers, dude...Rutgers!

At least until the next CFP rankings come out.

I like those coaches. Really was nice to see them speak their unfiltered minds. Unfortunately, this will not get much press. The national media will pretend like it didn't happen.
Was also interesting to see Rocky's take on East coast bias and the bias against the MWC due to lack of TV coverage.

Good coaches. Think SDSU and Boise regret pulling out of deal to join the old Big East? A lot of the problems these coaches talk about regarding game start times and media attention may be different had they been in the AAC this year.

Boise were greedy little SOBs. SDSU was left in the cold. If the conference would have gone on as planned, there would be a high likelihood that any given year we could get 4 or even 5 ranked. SDSU, Boise, UCF, USF, Houston, Memphis, Temple, Navy......all have been strong recently an ranked top 25 as well. Cincy and ECU have the history to be ranked. Outside of the "contract" and media deal......that is one hell of a strong conference that can compete with the bottom 2 of the P5 any year.

Hopefully someone doesn't choke on their coffee jumping at the opportunity to tell us how all that matters in life is the media deal and the contract bowl.
