Debate topic: "Resolved: UTSA and UAB will be the dominant FB/BB programs in AAC 2.0"
.

THIS IS JUST A DEBATE TOPIC!
for people to kick around if they want to - - Not an actual argument that UTSA and UAB will be the dominant FB & BB programs in AAC 2.0, starting in 2022-23.

The topic of the debate is: "Resolved: UTSA and UAB will be the dominant FB/BB programs in AAC 2.0."

.

I will start the proceedings by briefly summarizing the case in favor of the resolution:

1. "UTSA will be the dominant FB program after UC, UH, & UCF depart."

I don't really believe they will be THE DOMINANT FB program, but a case can be made that they will be one of the top 2 or 3 strongest FB programs.

I can only think of one bit of data that supports this argument:

The AAC's only top 25 FB programs last year were UC and UH. UTSA made their way into the top 25, and it's not certain that any of the AAC remainers will have top 25 potential within the next 2-3 years. However, I don't follow football as closely as I follow basketball.

I turn point over to those who wish to put forth counter-arguments.

2. "UAB and North Texas will be the dominant BB programs after UC, UH, & UCF depart."

Once again, I don't believe that they will be, but this would be the argument:

Two of the top 3 current/future AAC men's basketball teams - - not including UH, UC, and UCF - - are currently UAB & North Texas.

That's it. Maybe someone else can make a stronger case. My only purpose was to set up the debate and kick it off.

.

Handing it over to those who wish to debate the topic. Enjoy! 04-cheers

UTSA had one good year. We will see how it goes. Florida Atlantic and UAB won 2 of 4 each before last year. I think we will compete

We just beat Louisiana Tech in basketball and beat WKU as well. I'm am hoping for arena improvements and such but basketball is starting to get better. Think uab and north Texas have the leg up to start

Rice and FAU have done most in baseball of the 6 but Charlotte has looked better lately than before in their history

Schools entering the AAC with fans making similar posts have not fared well.

Play a schedule with Memphis and SMU and the rest of AAC league on the schedule and get back to us.

I recently had seen a live UTSA Basketball game vs Rice and UTSA is pretty bad.

True. It's a step up as a whole. We've beaten Memphis , SMU, south Florida etc in our history though.

The new exposure and such will also help our programs improve
