That point differential is a little misleading. The point differential against the only 2 decent G5's they played was only about 10 points....and neither of those two opponents were probably any better than the middle of AAC.

True, but 27 points is 27 points, which would be an impressive average margin of victory even against a cupcake schedule. Heck, Temple couldn't even manage to score 27 points per game last season, much less win by 27 points - - and they had 6 or 7 cupcake games.

Amazing how Boise or its fans keep promoting this moribund idea. Can’t they find a Canadian league to participate in?

It would be great to see Tulsa matched up with Marshall in a bowl game.

Is the Boise deal done yet?????

Does any poster really have inside information?

No one can say, for certain.

You never know...people have a way of getting inside info when they're motivated enough, perhaps there's a "mole..."

Have Tulsa’s receivers spray down with silicone and a good cooking oil spray. They’re gonna get grabbed and held every play.

They waited till Thanksgiving weekend because everyone is tracking private planes and there just weren't as many in the air for them to fly under the radar. No guarantee but there will be a socially distanced in person airport meeting in Denver. Looks good should be some announcement one way or the other in 4 or 5 days. Boise may not be the only ones.

Didn't want to say it but I was told to watch for press conference around 3 or 4 pm central so it could make all the news and get talked about durring prime time games. Later than that and it might not maximize its affect.

Apparently Cincy getting so high on an AAC only schedule made some things we already know as AAC fans clear to some other people.

I'm not here to argue with any of you. I will 100% admit that BYU/Army/Air Force/Boise are better ads than Marshall right now. Outside of that, I don't think there's any comparison. Marshall is EASILY the next best, and honestly, only BYU is better as an All Sports invite.

Marshall is well within the conference footprint. A great travel partner for Cincy, we are an R2 research institution, we have a Top 75 media market (that we actually own/control), and we have national name recognition which helps us draw eyeballs outside of our media market.

Our average attendance was down last year, but a lot of people were basically going on strike to get rid of our head coach. We have proven we can easily average 28k/game with an AAC schedule, that's also while we were down at the time. So we could possibly do better if we were winning with an AAC schedule. We have sold out multiple games with P5 opponents over the last few years.

In basketball, we might not have the banners, but we do have the support and have improved over the last few years. We average around 6,000/game which is easily in the top half of AAC. Our attendance would DRASTICALLY increase with an AAC schedule.

Someone asked for TV ratings against other AAC teams. Here are a few from our recent bowl games.

Our last 6 bowl games have an average rating of 1.89 million viewers. I would say that's pretty dang good.

2019 Gasparilla Bowl vs UCF 1.15 million
2018 Gasparilla Bowl vs USF 1.75 million
2017 New Mexico Bowl vs Colorado St 1.21 million

2015 St Petersburg Bowl vs UCONN 2.4 million
2014 Boca Raton Bowl vs NIU 2.25 million
2013 Military Bowl vs Maryland 2.58 million

Our job at Marshall is to continue winning, finishing in the Top 25, and go on another run like we did in the MAC. Getting an AAC invite would be great, but if not, being the Boise St of CUSA wouldn't be so bad either.
