BYU (As Football Only)
A national brand with a big historic football profile. Always in the mix in any conference expansion discussion.
Army (As Football Only)
The service academies are always a good choice from a branding perspective. Like Navy, Army features a national following. It would make the prestigious Army-Navy contest a conference game and West Point is a good fit to the conference map.
Expansion as a G5 giving up on the Power 6 dreams..
Anyone else
If BYU is willing to come, add BYU, Air Force and Army. All football only.
I think Air Force is happy out with their regional peers in the MWC. The MWC was rated slightly ahead of the AAC last year in computer rankings (and that's with the AAC having UCF) so not sure it is much of a step up. I can see the military academy angle, but the USAFA is assured nationally televised games against USNA and USMA already.
