Again, we don’t care about your dick measuring contests. We care about a great gameday environment, which we have in spades.
Also, after checking out the AAC attendance numbers, LOL at you thinking this was some kinda own. Your whole conference averages in the 30’a and 20’s.
As I said 60 posts ago, "Attendance. 5-year average attendance,"
Here's one reference: https://collegefootballnews.com/2020/03/...m-analysis
ECU, Memphis, UCF, USF, Cincinnati, Navy, Houston, Temple ALL have five year averages ahead of your aspirational 30k.
The point isn't whether or not you are impressed by it.
The point is, that is why the conference continues to not be impressed by App State. Attendance is but one of many on- and off-field metrics that App would drag the AAC down when we are trying to achieve strategic goals in 5-6 years.
Wait, wait. You’re telling me schools who have been in FBS for 40+ years and are located in areas with hundred of thousands of people have a higher 5 year average attendance than the school who has been FBS for just 5 years? No way! Put App in the AAC tomorrow and we’re already ahead of several of your schools in attendance, and that number will only continue to grow.
The point is, you have no clue who the conference is impressed by lol, you’re a message board poster. And as to your “strategic goal”, buddy there is no school you can add, who wants to join, than can help you achieve whatever “strategic goal” you seem to think is there. Must i remind you of the monumental gap between P5 money and AAC money? Even if BYU wanted to join, not even they are making up that gap. Hell you can add BYU and Boise and that gap still ain’t closing. Sorry to break the news. If the AAC wants to expand it’s going to have to take a chance on a program that has a high ceiling and a stable floor. I can assume you’re not in the business development field lol.
Actually, he does lol. You see Americon conference has this thing called the P6. In the plan it includes metrics that the conference as a whole is committed to achieving, it even has intermediate goals they are trying to accomplish as they move towards their overall goal. The P6 you think of as propaganda is in reality a comprehensive strategy to ensure that the entire conference is in the best position possible for whatever the future FBS structure holds and to secure a position as an autonomous conference.
Those items he listed fall under one of two categories 1. Items the presidents of the schools in the conference have stated are priorities. The association of the university is important whether that is in educational organizations, social movements, or athletics. Part of the reason Wichita St was attracted to the AAC and the AAC felt Wichita was a homerun was their academic ambitions and intent. 2. The statistical or standards that are part of the p6 campaign, as he pointed out you don't meet many if any of those.
Considering the push the conference is making and the public remarks made by the commissioner it is unlikely that schools who do not meet both 1 and 2 will be considered much less accepted. Currently three schools for various reasons meet both 1 and 2 they are BYU, Army, Air Force and in that order.
Looking at the current make up of the conference and taking past years without UConn included as a baseline we improve a good deal with out UConn's involvement in football and while we lose prestige in men and particularly women's basketball, the actual effect of UConn men's departure on measurable metrics is minimal at worse and neutral at best. I would argue that South Florida's women's program cushions the loss of a dominate UConn program whose absence may result in other mildly successful programs improving in quality. The women's basketball is hurt the most, which at best is the fourth most important sport. Baseball is hurt, but the strength overall of the conference and in particular the add of what will hopefully be a resurging Wichita program will make it very similar to the loss of UConn basketball minimal or neutral.
App St could perhaps add something in football, but the improvement is incredibly small, the share of money is fairly big, and with out the sort of laid ground work that would likely allow you to compete (FBS budget, tradition, recruiting base & accomplishments) in the conference the risk you become the new UConn is high.
App St P6 application:
______ Approved
__X____ Denied
It's true - I am a mere message board poster. I have never claimed any kind of insider access to Navy Athletics, the AAC, or any of our media partners.
Also true: everything I said about the strategic plan and P6. The Strategic Plan is available online with pillars, and benchmarks and milestones in each. You can listen to any number of Aresco interviews in gulfcoastgal's month-old thread and hear most of what I've posted in this thread since it was raised from five months of sleep by UConnWyomingGTFletch. I would have hoped App10 could figure it out since 60% of his/her CSNbbs posts are in the AAC forum. Alas, there is none so blind as he/she who will not see.
