What a thriller! Congrats Tulane
Looks like the AAC will be in good hands once the Big 3 leave.
What a thrilling comeback.

I nearly had a heart attack. I don't think that I've ever rooted for a non-ECU team as hard as I was rooting for y'all. Congrats and Roll Wave!

No one in the history of sports has ever referred to UH, Cindy, and UCF as "the big three"

Nobody else has provided the AAC with more prestige and publicity. You may also include Memphis, especially if we include basketball and maybe Wichita State. But the Big 3 have been the best in both major sports (UCF to a lesser extent in basketball, though they have an NCAA Tournament win and a near miss).
Edit: on second thought, Memphis has just 2 NCAA Tournament appearances spread 8 years apart in AAC play. They do have a NY6 appearance, so that does count for something.

So the Big 3 are Cincy, Houston, UCF, Memphis and Wichita? That's some Big 10 level math right there.

It would obviously become a Big 5 or whatever number it would be.

What a thrilling comeback.
Huge win for the Wave and the new AAC. Future is bright. This would have been a playoff game next year.
