It's Official....Stanford, Cal and SMU to the ACC.

This is my last post on this subject. Time to start prepping for tomorrow.

If Georgia State leaves, don't sleep on Kennesaw State. And, before some of you throw a fit, remember when we added App and Georgia Southern? Some of you were suicidal. This would be very much the same. I would rather WKU, but, trust me, Kennesaw State will be in our league one day.

I have to agree with Esque' on this one. Maybe not UTSA but UAB. Or let's shore up basketball and get WKU back.

That would be my guess as well. I don't think the Texas schools want any part of Texas State. The question is would GSU take the offer. AAC could stand pat as well.

If GSU bolts, the question becomes who do you add to the East? I mean, teams you could reasonably get (I don't think East Carolina fits that statement).

Good luck to them. I believe the AAC media rights deal is up in 2025 and there is no way it won't be reduced after losing the Houston and DFW markets. I wouldn't be surprised if ESPN has renegotiation rights before then, if the lose major members.

That's the question. Getable teams for us right now are anyone in CUSA and UMASS and maybe Army.

Suppose GSU leaves. That's a huge market loss. What will ESPN say? Given the above list, if you can get Army, you get them(arkstfan said its possible). After that, if ESPN says we need another huge market to make the numbers work, the getable market school is FIU. If market is not a concern, and Army says no, the only getable schools that I would want right now are Liberty or WKU. Liberty has better programs and more money, but WKU offers a new state for the media deal.

UMass makes no sense and we don’t want them….if we add a replacement for Ga State it should be liberty or WKU…. If you decide to go fcs I would say William and Mary for the east. Right now the only fcs that makes since in the west would be Missouri State. Ideally we should go after ECU and Memphis.

This is all just madness. No rhyme or reason. Nothing but flailing around to grab money. It won’t end well for anyone.

Yup. The mods on the CSSN board have done nothing to keep the wanna move ups like Kennesaw, Missouri whatever and the like from trolling the SBC board. KSU would actually be a mirror of Georgia State...big enrollment, attendance at sporting events, not so much.

Personally, go get WKU from CDOA. Yeah, their kinda Neckster light, but not a move up

One could argue Atlanta as a city is now well north of where downtown/GA state is. Evidenced by the braves move "north" . So Kennesaw state may have more potential than GA state. Although probably not in research. Also k state grew the right way or normal way. GA state was gifted facilities left over from the Olympics and braves move and gifted students from the merger with the Jr College system

Is that Texas st's fault or fear?

[HoustonCajun]

Don’t ever forget this will be in play at some point.

If that happens, we could put together a pretty formidable west break off.

Louisiana
S. Miss
Tulane
Rice
Texas State
UTSA
N. Texas
Tulsa
Memphis
Ark State
LA Tech
UAB
S. Alabama
Troy

According to the information I just read, the current AAC media rights deal is signed through 2031-2032, but that is without the GOR.

If the PAC could fail with all of their brands because of being west of the Miss R.

You think a G5 league could thrive?

AAC wants Army
