Is it any weirder than 6-and-7? Or 5-and-5, which the Sun Belt is doing now?

Yes. 6 and 7 has a surplus team from the old setup and 5 and 5 is even divisions. Regardless, I don’t think this is proof the AAC is breaking down the barrier. The NCAA gave them a waiver.

How is having one fewer team than 12 weirder than having one more team? You run into the same scheduling problems.
