Air Force is floated, but I can't see it.

Air Force decided just a few years ago to drop out of the B12 list because they decided neither the WAC nor Summit was a good fit for their Olympics. A stance they held back with the AAC/Big East came asking in 2011 and 2012.

The money difference is small now. At $4.2M for a FB only school, it is not that much more than the expected $3M the the MWC deal will pay them -- plus lose the distributions and accumulated credits of the MWC (they wont get any from the AAC since they are a FB only)-- and they don't have to send their Olympics to a lower conference, or give up rivalries with the Front range schools, especially Colorado State. They already play Army and Navy in traditional games annually. So their is no schedule or rival benefit.

AAC supporters keep floating the other academies assuming that being in the same conference in FB will make all the world difference. It never did. Each has charted their own path and each likes what that path has given them. And each play each other anyway, and non need a nickel of TV money.
