But if the AAC is forced to go to 12 then maybe that's the move they make. They can get the bowl access like Notre Dame has with the ACC. I'm more in line that 12 is an option for the AAC. At this point, I think they would need a member to leave to stay at 10. I don't see the other conferences allowing the 11-member thing to continue but they let the Big Ten do it so who knows, but the AAC isn't the Big Ten. It would give Navy more flexibility with how they schedule games. 5 AAC games (If you do West/East, one game in Texas and one game in Florida on a rotation, so it's not a total loss), the Notre Dame game, and the 2 academy games. That's 8 games and allows you to schedule 4 games each year, just more flexibility for the school. But I agree, I haven't heard Navy saying they want to leave but circumstances could force their hand.

If you’re limiting Navy’s games, you can keep 11 teams and go to uneven divisions. Just move Memphis to the East and put Navy at 6 games; the Midshipmen can win/tie the West based on winning percentage. BUT... they have the waiver and Navy still likes 8 games.
