Quote:It sounds like the AAC will have to get off the clock and select someone.

I agree. The NCAA is not going to let the AAC sit on 11 team lineup indefinitely, at all.

The MAC one year had a 6 / 7 uneven division lineup. IMO, that'd be better than a 1-division lineup for football if one's going to sit on it. But I dunno how 5 / 6 division lineup would hold up for the NCAA. UConn left, so the AAC will need to bring someone else in.

In reference to what someone else said -- no, I don't think it's "damaging" to add someone, as long as they're reasonably respectable. Losing UConn in basketball is the big 'damaging' part... and just about anyone except UMass would be an equal replacement on the football front. Just get a team with an average mid-major crowd with a decent record usually -- or one with a big mid-major crowd regardless of how swell they are, and you'll be seen as just the same.

Don't add someone in, and it'll only hurt the conference, IMO.
