^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Honestly, that's all I'm proposing, just don't include Army and BYU in the AAC championship race.

I’d prefer conference only and then expand the conference championship to a tournament if possible.

10 game round robin with a 8-team conference tournament

Champ still gets 13 games

Not a bad idea; 4 might be more appealing competitively and for TV purposes. Plus, there are hopes 1 game could be reserved for National Quarterfinals.

This is the year to try something out-of-the-box that could turn into something extraordinary.

8-game conference schedule - then have a flex week where the conference dictates the Week 9 matchups - essentially hosting a semifinal round - schedule 1 v. 4 and 2 v. 3 (and 5 v. 6, 7 v. 8, and 9 v.10, or whatever).

Then the 1v4 and 2v3 winners play each other for the CCG.

The AAC could be the first conference to ever stage a conference championship semifinal round.

Yeah, I want nothing to do with that cult. Not to mention, they have more-or-less been business as usual despite COVID, so there's no way we could count on them to test and sanitize at the level the rest of the AAC will. Out of those 6 options, I would take any 2 of Army, UConn, BYU, and UMass in that order. No interested in NMSU or Liberty.

People on here are so funny. You'll gladly schedule BYU but not Liberty. Have you read up on the exploits of Mr. Brigham Young? Did you know until almost the 80's, African Americans couldnt be ordained or put in places of leadership within the church because their spirits were less pure? Want to know how they feel about Native Americans? Homosexuals? Women? However most here convenient overlook that because they are a name brand. Liberty has never practiced or believed in institutional racism or the wholesale slaughter of Native Americans. Some here also don't want any part of Liberty because of their online presence and money printer. Would you turn down Arizona State for the same reason?

I say, let individual colleges be who they are, (Cal, Evergreen State, Liberty, BYU, etc) and play them in sports. Nobody is forced to attend those institutions and we should live and let live, that's the great thing about Freedom. Sorry about the rant, I just love calling out hypocrisy when I see it...carry on.

Please show me tangible proof that BYU and the Mormon church is currently openly discriminating against anyone. I don't care about historically, I care about now. Thank you.

There not, but neither is Liberty. When you elect to enroll at either school you agree to their honor code and rules. If one doesn't like itt and won't be comfortable there then go somewhere else. What's the issue?

So the AAC goes to

UConn
UMass
BYU
Army
Liberty
NMSU

and tells them “If your willing to play us EXCLUSIVELY then we can provide you a (kinda) full schedule. They would all be stupid not to take it. To be sure - they are NOT in the conference but they play ALL AAC teams then we could come up with actual decent non-conference games. hell, we’re all playing FCS schools anyway.

It would be the most interesting and forward thinking thing the AAC ever did and would also help ensure Army-Navy.

So dumb

It’s absolutely in our interest.

Guys, y’all are acting like this is business as usual- it’s not. Again, our schools are hemorrhaging money; desperate is not an unfair word. We all need as many games as possible. So if bringing in UMass, or NMSU, or whoever gets us ALL an extra game then we need to do it.

How do you know that schools in this conference aren't working on better alternatives than UMASS, NMSU and UCONN? (hint, they are).

I mean, I did say ‘or whoever’....

So, I'll take an 8 conference game schedule plus 4 games against UConn. I'll give UConn a 3 @ECU for 1 @UConn.

And what hypocrisy is that?

And to be clear...I think overall, Liberty is a very good school. I'm not talking about Liberty online, but the on campus school. I have no experience/understanding with the online only school. I will say that I am not a fan of Jerry Jr, but that is because he spends too much time meddling in politics and trying to cause a stir. And by the way, I agree with many of his political stances.

If you walk the campus of Liberty, it has the feel of a large Southern university just without the drinking and greek life. There is a ton of construction going on all over the campus for both Sports and Academic reasons. I don't understand why people are so quick to throw away Universities that actually have morals and stand for something.

Nothing says ignorant like Christian hypocrisy. If you can't see anything wrong with fining people for being gay, and their LGBT group having to remain covert, it says a lot about you.
