Even 9 games is highly improbable for a G5 conference that depends in no small part on OOC buy games for revenue. Now, if they actually were to attempt to increase the number of conference games, that would solve the problem of an odd number of football teams, but not in a way that the conference would desire -- Navy would bolt and return to independence, leaving 10 football members. Navy has expressed enthusiasm for AAC membership, but their OOC slate is booked with 3 annual games (Air Force, Army, and Notre Dame), leaving just one OOC game to schedule any other opponent. They lose even that meager freedom, and bye-bye to the AAC.

The AAC options if they stay at 11 after the waiver is to play a full round robin with no divisions OR play with uneven divisions meaning the East division will have 5 teams and the west division will have 6 teams. The later will keep the 4 OOC games.

You seem to think you're telling me new information.

One would think the smaller FBS schools are threatened but what you'll likely see is scaling back on salaries if anything.
