AAC eyes Mtn West teams and UAB

American targeting Mountain West powers among handful of expansion candidates in realignment

Please God, don't do this. At that level it makes 0 sense to have a conference stretch from Philadelphia to San Diego. The very last option, total realignment among Sunbelt, AAC, and CUSA makes the most sense. Except they have Temple in the South.

This is getting really dumb. At some point travel costs are going to negate any of the added media revenue that would make these moves worthwhile.

This is history repeating itself. In 2011 the then Big East was going to add Boise St. and San Diego St. before it fell through. I really don't see the AAC as a step up from the MWC anyway.

Just combine the AAC, MAC, CUSA, and Sun Belt all into 2 not so super conferences.

"Big 12 executives are also watching closely as the Pac-12 negotiates a new TV deal in 2024 when its current agreement with Fox and ESPN expires. If the Pac-12 media rights revenue approximates that of the Big 12 at that time, there is a feeling within the Big 12 some Pac-12 schools might be interested in joining."
