We're going to be left with trash school replacements

Not if the AAC goes with a 10 team league model it wont, just has to look for one good program one that has decent market, improved facilities mainly an attractive football stadium and with future basketball upgrade blue prints on hand.

WKU? Finally broke through in football and always solid in basketball. Also sures up KY and OH if Cincy bolts.

Let's say we get FB only (unlikely given WVU needs a travel partner) what a good Olympic sports conference in both basketball and baseball? A10 maybe SoCon?

Next to no one in Ohio even realizes WKU exists. Don't think it will do anything to move the needle here.

RE: The Official ECU is screwed thread
Trying to read between the lines here but when Bowlsby says the following, I wouldn't say we're "screwed" quite yet:

"The conference will look at several factors in the right candidates -- athletic program strength and competitiveness, fan base, access to media markets, reputation for integrity and academic standards. Bowlsby said any new member would have to bring stability to the conference and have a "high top end." "

Dude we get that you have this weird love for CUSA but WKU is not desirable.

Bowlsby: Football-only members a possibly in expansion.

That quote from Dodd is directed at a BYU invite because they won't play on Sundays. if BYU is invited its a most likely Football-only invite.

Surely they would want BYU basketball. Just schedule their games the other 6 days of the week.

We could take the football only invite and put non revenue sports/basketball in a lower conference like the big east.

We're screwed over something that hasn't happened yet and I'd still be surprised if it actually does? Hell wouldn't shock me one bit if a month from now we get an announcement that says they vetted everyone and couldn't come to a consensus so we'll stick at 10 for now.

Agreed. There is nothing certain yet. Heck, people seem to think it is just the Big XII that will be expanding. It is still "could be expanding." Not "will be expanding." I'd also be surprised of this wasn't Oklahoma's way of prodding other conferences to start their flirting again. If I were another P5 conference, I'd see Big XII expansion as an opportunity. If other P5 conferences got involved, that would really change the dynamics.

After seeing the ACC extend their GOR by 20 years and knowing that they'll be the only P5 without a network...and the most vulnerable conference to be poached? They're expanding.
