App St Drawing Interest from AAC

[RaginDave]

If the Sun Belt was really the slam dunk place to be, we wouldn’t be worried about teams leaving, right?

ask that same question to the PAC-12 2 years ago. Nothing is stable right now unless your name is the SEC or B1G, other than that every conference is fair game.

Going by the current realignment trends, App should fit in perfectly with the geography of the Pac 12 and help keep it afloat.

Exactly. The belt is great in this moment, but we’re always one step away from being left behind again…unless we are a mover too

agreed, we should always be looking to better our situation, currently we are in the best situation that we have been in, in years, but I would assume a team like Oregon State probably thought they were OK 3 years go and then USC and UCLA left and the next thing you know, the entire conference blows up.

La Tech, knew that they were in the best situation 5 years ago, then "KABOOM", now they are in a conference with NMSU, Sam Houston State, Jacksonville State and soon to be Kennesaw State amongst others. Nothing wrong with those teams, but reality is La Tech went from what they thought was a huge improvement to the cellar in just a year or two.

App State does not fit the AAC model, i.e. universities in large markets.

While that is true Fan, that is a stretch, and it is only there because there is nothing else close to it.

Boone to Charlotte is a 2 hour, 102 mile drive. I wouldn't think that is a part of the Charlotte MDA.

All TV and news that is in Boone is from the Charlotte area. That is not the case with Lafayette and New Orleans.

There is very little between Charlotte Metro and Boone, very rural.
