To your dental healthcare plan? Sounds like a cheap investment...cost per tooth is low.

On a serious note, I do wonder if a P5 team would ever pull a Tulane and leave a major conference.

Vandy, Wake, Washington St, Iowa St, and Purdue can sit there with bad attendance, bad TV ratings, and bad FB & MBB teams, and still draw a welfare check that's more than what the entire AAC gets combined, so why would they leave?

Only if there is a reincarnation of President Robert Maynard Hutchins.
Shouldn't Kentucky be basketball only? The AAC doesn't need their "football."

RE: Add Kentucky now!
Is Lexington, Kentucky a good enough market to add to the American?

Lexington does a good job putting 25,000 in the stands as opposed to the 7-9 times bigger Houston market, which puts 5, 000 in the stands on a good day (granted, Houston has pro sports).

Purdue has probably won more Big Ten bball championships and conference games than any other Big Ten school. Up until this year they had won 14 straight first round tourney games.
Football program went in the dumper but they might be able to turn it around.
