Reverend Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 3 minutes ago, wolfpack1 said: I think Temple is nervous because they have for many years pushed their athletics around mostly because of their football. Now would AAC for example let someone keep all their sports there while letting them play basketball in another conference? At this moment in time, with losing Houston and Cincinnati for basketball and with Temple having success in basketball would AAC let them go? To me the only school from AAC that would make sense is Wichita St. Was adding UConn a special case because of the history with the Catholic schools or does a school not have to be a religious institution to be a member? Because if no, then you're probably right. Wichita State would be a good add. But aside from Creighton there isn't much History there. Quote I am Halfmanhalfbronco's bitch.

Quick search says it was created by a church. The United States has all kinds of different religious groups and churches. I don't know how you fellas keep up with it all.

RSF Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 7 minutes ago, nvspuds said: Butler is not a Catholic School Butler is private and in a big city, so its still a fit. UConn has the history with the conference. My guess is they would consider publics w/o football, hence Wichita State (or perhaps George Mason), but the 1st calls would probably be to Duquesne, Dayton and St Louis - all urban Catholic schools. Ok...Dayton isnt exactly the big city. Loyola falls into the same category as Temple - they would be doubling up in Chicago. Quote In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think adding UConn was because the history they had with Big East conference, and after they formed, I read somewhere UConn had an open invitation if they ever considered moving form the AAC. Don't know if that was the case but it would make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpack1 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think the private school was key when they formed as they all had something in common. I think Wichita St is really the only choice from AAC they would look at and out of the Atlantic 10 there aren't that many choices. To me, Dayton, UMASs and St. Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are currently playing in an excellent BB conference and they are the favorites this year..I would say their biggest drawback is they are in a small town in upstate NY.

utgrizfan Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Frankly don't really see the issue of the California schools going to Texas in terms of travel. At most you'd play 1 of them in Texas every few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I agree with this, I think the last couple of years they finally found the right coach and things are coming together for them. But I agree with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaztecs Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 18 hours ago, AztecSU said: I recently projected that SDSU would be approaching R1 status around 2030. Then this came out, see link. Apparently the school is gearing up for R1 by 2025. The article also documents the origin of the CSU/UC dividing line. I'm guessing the 2025 target date is no accident. https://www.eastvillagetimes.com/the-roots-of-sdsus-exclusion-from-the-pac-12/ I read the article yesterday as well. Interesting to note is that SDSU has Doctoral program arrangements with every School in the UC system but one. UCLA To me, that is further evidence SC and the Uclans will never allow the Aztecs into the Pac. They have always considered SD their backyard and don't want the competition. Hell, except for qb and wr we are out recruiting and out performing them now. 1 Quote "We don't have evidence but, we have lot's of theories."

Closest to the west in the Mountain is Boise, and I wouldn't doubt if they would like to get back with Fresno and Nevada. Do they become the west. Or do we do a north-south that effectively doesn't really help the Mountain schools get their CT annually? This is assuming the school(s) are in TX. Or do we try what the ACC and even worse the Big Ten's original divisions tried? Champions and Legends. Our Champions Division would only have four teams.
