Welcome to the G5 we are not P6.

...but, but, but adding Wichita St, Dayton and VCU will totally 100% make us a power conference. Just ask the "Add Wichita St yesterday" crowd...they'll tell you.

IMHO, with or without out Wichita State the AAC will get a nice bump $$$ in its next TV agreement... But with the Wichita's addition the AAC flexes it's muscle a bit more and shows the nation that this league means business.

Before Wichita is added though I say a GOR should definitely be a possibility.

lol. Grant of rights.
How would you define a nice bump $$$?

UH would be dumb to sign a GOR if anyone at this university agreed to that they need to be immediately fired. As soon as an opportunity arises to leave this conference UH needs to take it. The P5 would love for us to be stuck in this crap conference, we would literally be playing into their hands.

LOL... Expansion has left and isn't coming back anytime soon, if a GOR can fetch say $$$8 - $$$10 million each I would definitely want Houston to sign it, hell, at least till the duration of its new contract is up... GORS aren't for ever.

How do we know expansion isnt coming anytime soon proof? The fact is singing a GOR guarantees we don't get into a P5 for a good while. There is no way we get offered that kind of money for a GOR.

LOL - Proof that IS coming back?!? LOL

you have some really stupid logic. you dont think there will be expansion... so what the hell is the point in a GOR?

It was a back and forth game for last 6 mins and SMU had a 2 pt lead with 47 seconds left in game and possession on their end when SMU player Brown stepped out of bounds....all by himself and then 10 secs later, USC hit a 3 to take lead for good.

Game was there for SMU to win but they couldn't close.

He thinks we signing a GOR will fetch us $8-10 mill a year. But he thinks we can sign a 2 month GOR and get that raise.

Spot on. This is the exact game SMU closed out powerfully in the last 10 minutes and won by double digits all season. Lights proved to be too bright for a few.

But, get back a solid group with some big additions and continue to grow this next year and beyond.

No, it would make you a legit "tweener" conference in basketball, clearly above the other non-BCS conferences, much like you guys are in football.

Right now you guys have 4 quality programs (UConn, Memphis, Temple, Cincinnati), 1 program that is spending money and performing like a quality program (SMU) and 6 programs who are a drag on the conference. So a little less than half of SMU's conference games are against NCAA/NIT tournament-caliber opposition.

Bring in Wichita, Dayton and VCU and you have 7 quality programs plus SMU. That's the difference between a "mediocre conference with some good teams" and a "good conference with some bad teams."

Which means a lot come Selection Sunday. 3 more good teams boosts everyone's SOS and RPI, plus your tournament teams have a couple more games against quality opponents.

Much like bringing in Boise State would have crippled the Mountain West and made you guys the unquestioned #6 with real separation between #6 and #7-8-9-10, bringing in Wichita and Dayton and VCU cripples the A-10 and creates a real separation between #7 and #8-9-10.

First of all, the Commissioner has shot down the idea of adding multiple basketball schools, so you can stuff your add "WSU, VCU and Dayton for bball" idea. Secondly, no it would not make us a tweener conference and you know it. It would make us the mid-major that ESPN wants us to be perceived as. Not to mention Greg Marshall already has one foot out the door, and WSU is not guaranteed to consistently make S16's and E8's going forward. so adding them is another mouth to feed. In case you haven't noticed we don't get paid a lot, and our next contract is not likely to increase a whole heck of a lot, either.

Oh really? Is that because he's rumoured (started by every other fan base) to take every job but never does? Or is it because he makes more than any coach in the American? Maybe it's his access to private jets for personal use, that must really suck. Maybe he hates having full control of the program and having the full trust of the administration. I can see why he's begging to get out.

At this point he's been WSUs coach for 10 years, he's more likely to retire here than to bounce for any job that isn't top of the blue blood chain.

SMU should have never been in a tight race at the end, it was the phantom foul calls made sure that they were... If you paid attention you would have seen that in every game, I just don't have a rooting interest in teams NOT in the American.

SMU still only had 15 total fouls called against them-pretty typical for a team that rarely fouls. Taking Ben Moore out the game was pretty tough though-that's the problem with a team with only 6 players and 2 bigs-every fouls is emphasized

He hasn't left because he hasn't been offered a better job. It hasn't been like he hasn't tried. While a great coach, Marshall has a reputation among ADs. He has campaigned for jobs, but his reputation has cost him. Plus, this latest bit with his wife can't help. This isn't a situation like Mark Few, who simply is not interested in leaving Gonzaga. Marshall is interested, but he can't find any takers at his price.

No it was the sticker idea by Aresco that makes us a "P6"

You are literally the first person I've ever heard say he's campaigning for other jobs.
