No school will be kicked out of the conference. In my life I have observed that many people who are obviously inferior to myself in most or all ways, on rare occasion actually do something that is reasonably intelligent.
Consider that when you read statements like this or polls like the one above.

Tulsa are a new FB coach away from having a top half AAC program.
Tulane needs to get serious about mens basketball and they're fine.
ECU is a sleeping giant if they ever find a way to win football games again. They have an actual P5 fanbase.
Shoot, I would say Tulsa has a top half AAC program right now. This season will prove that out.
Monty had two disaster seasons before everything broke right in the COVID season.
I think last year was a pyrrhic victory. You needed to be rid of him to properly rebuild.
I would be shocked if Tulsa wins more than six.
Some fans (me before the brawl) really want Drummer to be right, it's in our hearts. Some fans (me if I was being honest) know your first assessment is true and your reply is accurate. He has consistently underperformed every year and now has two winning seasons in seven.
The brawl ended me thinking with my heart and what hope last season gave me. We will be up and down some, but it should be three or four years of up and a down season of just making a bowl. Right now we are underperforming and most seasons just trying for .500

Every AAC program brings positives and negatives to the table. There is no "perfect" entity — though Navy as football only is close such perfection.
Memphis and Cincinnati offer lots of flaws, and I admit this. I simply want UC and UM to be affiliated with the strongest league possible. An AAC with the Remaining 8 and BYU would be stellar — a 20-program conference as good as any other in hoops and damn strong in football. But I don't foresee it happening. Maybe I'll be proved wrong. I hope so.
I like the program Mike Houston is currently constructing at East Carolina. Our baseball program dominates the AAC. Our basketball is dismal.
Once we get football fixed and believe it's being fixed. It will be time for the internet snobs present on this board to taste some crow.
Believe me it's coming and when it does "The Fick" will be rocking. I will pity the opponent that dares to come to that field to play the Pirates!!
We are 1 team away from exploding on the seen in this conference... so tread lightly and have your jokes because it's coming soon. Sooner that many may like. Go Pirates!! GO AAC!!!

I thought this was going to be about what would be the worst add in the future and got all excited that I'd be able to see UMass win in the AAC for once.
And one other thing, none of the programs in this conference are even close to the gameday experience of a fall afternoon Greenville NC provides. Go Pirates and Go AAC!!
When your fanbase has to have an active conversation about recruiting "city" speed, you know you're a little too backwoods to belong in a real conference.

Big 12 invited Tulane to make presentation last time they considered expansion which tells you something about Tulane’s attractiveness as a candidate, Worst AAC addition was Memphis State. Big 12 did not invite Memphis State to make presentation before them last expansion go around. Big 12 shunned Memphis State and even a bribe of a significant dollar amount by Fed Ex to get Memphis State in the Big 12 did not work. That tells you something important about Memphis State right there.
You're wrong on the "Memphis State" name. It is "Tiger High."

This board has deteriorated into a Memphis, Houston, Cincy, and UCF circle jerk amidst conference realignment.

We need a reason to sign a GOR. Someone needs to send Houston and Uc and UCF Memphis and ecu and invite, then watch us close up tighten up sign the GOR get 20 million. That is what is needed right now. If we signed GOR during the media deal a year ago it wouldn’t have been as much. We need outside desires. Something needs to happen I hope somebody is predatory to AAC else the big 12 is an unowned property on the CFp monopoly board. We re going to get. It and the game will go on. In that case Baylor will be the worst add but due to the rape scandals. If we aren’t touched we will uhh chill out I guess
