Hmm.
Interesting.
It’s a new day for the AAC.
What’s the underlying motive here? Can someone with more knowledge on future conference realignments/shifts fill us in?
Money
Well that ends the speculation of maybe they were working on adding BYU in the near future.
I’m speculating like everyone else but the quality of the CCG just went up. It could be 2 ranked AAC teams with the winner going to a NY6 bowl.
Now that AAC conference championship game would mean a lot to both teams.
It prevents a 11-0 team going up against a 6-5 team in title game and the two best teams get what they deserve. I like it.
It also prevents the league from taking some team they really don’t want just to fill out divisions. Too bad they didn’t do that before adding the Navy knee knockers.
If it works for our FFL! hahaha
Absolutely! You are ensuring the two BEST teams in the conference are playing for the title.
Hey,
If the Little 12 can do it, everyone else should be able to. One less team, more money for the other 11.
An exciting scenario with no divisions starting this year would be UH going undefeated beating OU and Wazzu and Cincy going undefeated beating Ohio State and UCLA.
Of course UH and Cincy would not play each other in the regular season but what a CCG it would be.
Of course I’m bias so in my scenario we win the CCG.
Hoping this gets approved. Apparently the lack of a round robin schedule is a hang up.
It will make things easier when the Big XII gets raided and the best of the rest of the leftovers of AAC merge.
Watch the NCAA troll the AAC and reject it.
I will believe it when I see it.
What reason does the NCAA have to allow it? AFAIK unless you play a round robin schedule or have divisions you can’t have a championship game.
6 in one division and 5 in another would be nightmare for all kinds of reasons. It’s unfortunate but it’s a nobrainer. Complaining is moot and a waste of human thought.
So why let the Big 12 do it and not the AAC? I think that will further the argument about parity in college football if they do reject it.
