AAC Geographic Distances
I was bored at work and made a spreadsheet of how far all the schools are from each other. There were some interesting finds and maybe this will help to forecast who will be rivals? Enjoy.

RE: AAC Geographic Distances
I always thought Tulsa and SMU could make a good rivalry due to the close distance and the whole Oklahoma vs Texas thing. Plus they're both small private schools.

Houston could be good too. Again, OK vs TX. And although they're twice as far there's the whole Oil Capitals of the World title to play off of.

RE: AAC Geographic Distances
The distances between all the schools in the AAC southwest...are just about at their maximums. Hopefully, they can get some cohesion.

I almost think that the AAC should split in half and incorporate each half of CUSA. Both halves would look much more compact and competitive.

I believe you got the "almost think" part right. I suggest you give it a little more effort and really think. If you do you will see it wasn't a good idea. Lol. 04-cheers

Great response. A real brain teaser.

Instead of UofH, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa and Memphis playing...
UConn, Temple, ECU and USF(schools that have no connection with the southwest).....
they could play....
UTSA, UTEP, La Tech and Rice(schools that are relevant in this region).

What about that isn't up to your standards.
More fans, closer games, better competition.

Is ECU the only school in the AAC that is neither the closest nor the furthest for any other school?

They already did plus added FCS schools. FAU, FIU, MTSU, WKU, others? FCS members like UTSA and Old Dominion. ODU probably has the most potential.

RE: AAC Geographic Distances
It's understandable that some folks don't appreciate the diversity that Memphis represents, but as most proximity studies demonstrate; its central location is a strong asset in many studies. There's a reason why the the entire area (north MS/eastern Ar/west TN) has adopted "America's Distribution Center" as a calling card to large logistics firms.

All of our universities and programs bring unique and valuable qualities/assets to the conference.

First, I'm glad you took my message as intended without insult. The only advantage of your proposal is closer competition. If you look at the ages and histories of your proposed CUSA teams, other than proximity they share nothing in common with their more established proposed counterparts. Regional conferences have gone the way of the Dodo bird. If the AAC teams wish to remain relevant making more $ and have any chance for upward mobility your proposal would move them a step backward. You do realize those teams left CUSA to join the AAC for a reason don't you? What do you suppose that reason was?

This. UCONN travels more than anyone else in this conference, but the current members of the AAC are who we want to associate with (if P5 membership isn't in the cards). I think just about every AAC school (AD/President/fan-base) feels the same way.

Who you want to associate with or who you have to associate with?

As far as UC, nothing says big time like your closest conference mate being an 8 hour drive away.

RE: AAC Geographic Distances
Travel has become a means to an end. For instance in the MWC (football) Hawaii has to travel all the way to New Mexico and Colorado (approx 3,500 miles). West Virginia has to travel to Oklahoma and Texas in the B12. Missouri travels to Florida and South Carolina in the SEC. Colorado to Washington is a long way across the Rockies in the PAC 12. How far is Syracuse from Miami? Iowa from New Jersey in the Big10? The Sun Belt includes teams from North Carolina and Idaho. There's no such thing as a conference that makes geographic sense anymore.

RE: AAC Geographic Distances
This is my second sports season back east after living in Montana so getting to a few Temple sporting events a year is a priority. With that said, as someone who loves to visit other schools that list depresses me. I did Temple-UConn hoops in Hartford this year and plan on going to ECU in October for football. Cincinnati might be in the cards at some point and Annapolis will be done so long as I remain in the region.

The MAC is the closest thing there is to making sense in FBS. UMass is really the only outlier . Even they are along/within reach of the I90 corridor like the rest of the league.

There's still a lot of conferences in D1 that maintain geographical continuity. They just aren't making money hand over fist.....
