Just watch. UC will play both SMU and Wichita State just once, both on the road.

Sources said there’s a strong chance that the Shockers could play in the AAC in the 2017-18 season, as both sides would prefer Wichita State avoiding playing a lame duck year in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Valley officials are prepared for the move, as one told Sports Illustrated on Thursday night: “We understand that this is in the works and that it’s a strong possibility.”

That would be awesome if that happened. Guessing they would need to announce this very quickly, like in the next couple weeks for this to have any chance of happening.

I think it's going to happen. The AAC needs more high quality games for next year with UConn, Memphis, and Temple all down.

Wichita returns every player off a 30 win team and will likely be a preseason top 10-15 team, they don't want to waste that potential with another season in the MVC, where they end up with a 10 seed again.
For next year I'd be great. UC and Wichita State are both possible top 10-15 teams... Hell SMU may be as well. The top of the league could be damn good with those three next year. If a couple of UCF/UConn/Temple/Houston/Memphis can compete to be bubble teams suddenly the league looks much better.

They need to add a bonafide NCAA tournament team for sure. What gets lost in all of this, and most people fail to realize or mention, is the small portion of NCAA tourney payout money for the AAC. So, to go along with the crap Conference TV contract, they are further separating themselves from the "have's" because only 2 teams made the NCAA and didn't make a deep run. Thus, they are getting a smaller piece of that pie. They need to get to where they are consistently putting in 4-5 teams, and those teams WIN GAMES AND ADVANCE. This article says the ACC schools will make over an extra $100 million from the past 3 years (paid out over 6 years):

good point. Adding injury to insult, I'm pretty sure we don't even get a larger share than the dregs.

I second Cat's point. We all know college athletics is now about money. Forget loyalties, traditional rivalries, "student"-athletes charade, etc. This is about survival, and in particular, for those on the outside looking in. While football still drives the bus, anything the American can do to enhance its financial profile without sacrificing the brand is a good thing. We won't sniff the kind of numbers the ACC is getting but we can improve from where we are, and in particular, trying to separate our conference from the rest of the "dregs."

Quote:Each game played in this year's tournament is worth $264,859. That money is paid out over each of the next six years (2018-23), with the value for each unit increasing each year over the payout in roughly 3 percent increments. That puts this year's six-year unit payout at more than $1.7 million, or $30.6 million for the ACC's 18 units this year, a high among all conferences.
