RE: How has your school's athletics been affected by realignment?
Hasn't been too bad. Just left us in a competitive and geographic no man's land, cost us all of our traditional rivals, fan interest is virtually zero, and we play more road games in Texas than the entire northeast combined every year. The department is irrelevant, basketball is at an almost historic low point, and football - which this whole AAC thing is supposed to be about - is worse now than it was before.
Oh, and our players are throwing games and point shaving. It's been a hoot.

If it helps, we're thankful to Temple for Josh Pierre-Louis
