Point taken. Although, if the MWC itself becomes “a much more diluted league”, the balance may change again.

...I think at that point, the best option would be to merge the two... not sure how the media deal works out, but could just be a 'mash-up' between ESPN, FOX, and CBS, sorta like the current BIGXII... add Army to the mix (if they want - I'm thinking they are pretty happy as an indy, although a conference with Navy and AF should pique their interest...) and that's a good 'arm' for a G5 conference to have...

Basically the moves made by the SEC and B1G the last year have reminded us how irrelevant the AAC is. Years of P6 puffery went up in smoke. Nothing the AAC does or doesn't do going forward matters at all, IMO.

Quo, you sound bitter. What’s wrong?

Not bitter, it's just the way it is, IMO.

I strive to be as realistic as I can be.
