I think if we can add BYU all sports and have the schedule where most of their conference games are home or against the western teams that would have them give us a hard look. Add Army as football only to balance it out and add more prestige.

Does the AAC board need a realignment section?

Yes. Probably a G4 section too. Separate and not equal.

Gonzaga and BYU will never join. Even if they made a litte more in TV money, which wouldn't be guaranteed, it would kill them in travel costs.

Yet BYU football travels all over the US... trust me BYU has the money. Zags may be a different story though that’s why we would have to say a max of 4 away games against eastern based teams.

Gonzaga spends more than WSU landed on sports,makes more revenue, and has more tournament credits. Money is not an issue.

You've been naive

If you're saying Gonzaga wouldn't be interested in playing these programs bellow on a regular basis than you just proved you are a complete troll.

Cincinnati
Memphis
UConn
Temple
Houston
SMU
Wichita State

If AAC offered Gonzaga would sign immediately... But you have nothing to worry about, AAC isn't interested.

They would join the BE in a second if offered. It's the BE that is hesitant in inviting a team in Spokane WA.

Playing those teams and joining that conference are two very different things. Would they want them in OOC match ups? Sure! Would they want to send their volleyball team to ECU and their tennis team to USF? Not really.

You understand, like Boise State they make more where they are at than they would in the AAC right? They were interested in the Big East like BSU was but those programs are gone now.

Neither would make enough extra by leaving to make up for the difference in travel costs. They would net more by staying where they are.

You wording this ^^^ wrong... AAC programs will oppose sending their other sports there... No worth it.

if byu joins (hurting the wcc) and sdsu joined ..and a true west division forms, IMO it wouldn't take that much to get them to jump

the AAC at that point on prestige, money, exposure iwould be a mile difference ...2 seasons ago they had 28 wins and were an 11 seed

No, it doesn't. The WCC was the WCC before BYU, and would be the same without it.

Most people here don't understand BYU, just like they don't understand the outlook of the parochial schools in the WCC. They just look at things differently. It is what it is.

BYU is not that great at basketball, I don't think that if they left it would change much really. I do think BYU will make some kind of move joining a conference in all sports. Part of me hopes not because independence has been fun to watch.
