What the A.A.C. needs to do first is move NAVY out of the West Division and replace Connecticut's spot in the East Division of the A.A.C. NAVY belongs in the East Division and having NAVY in the West Division is simply ridiculous. Annapolis, Maryland, is absolutely NOT in the West.

As to who should replace NAVY in the West Division of the A.A.C. - after Connecticut leaves - my opinion is that "West" team should be Air Force. But only if they join the A.A.C. as a full member and not as a football only school. With Air Force in the West Division of the A.A.C. they fit fairly well - geographically - with the other schools in the West Division of the A.A.C., i.e., Houston, S.M.U., Tulsa, Tulane and Memphis.

However, since Air Force (Army) and Navy are required to play each other every year because of the Commander In Chief trophy, perhaps the only way adding Air Force to the A.A.C. would work is if NAVY and Air Force were in the same division, i.e., they would then play each other every year and then each of them would have one of their non-conference games against Army.

Sounds like UConn wants to keep their football in the AAC... Mike our Commish who has hugged me a few times is probably stupid enough to allow this.

We don't want UConn without their basketball. It's the only reason they are in the AAC.

True, but most go PSU or tOSU (at least the elites). WVU has a few Jersey kids on the roster, and adding more w/ the new staff. Plus, the B1G was after that TV market. They apparently didn't research much, as no one really watches RU. I miss playing them, and the trips there were great though.

I wouldn't normally give VT so much shit but two of their posters were busting my balls on here from the moment I registered on this board. It's been war ever since.

I would believe that Liberty would be a good addition for the AAC. The Sun Belt is fixed at 10 members.
They don't want anymore members. Liberty's attendance and stadium size are pretty equal to most AAC members.
And their location is pretty close to other members. I guess the AAC could go after a CUSA school which would
open up a spot for Liberty in that league.

Liberty is gonna be a good school for someone to latch onto.

For a school that was irrelevant at the FCS level they have become surprisingly relevant in the past year. but everyone hates them because their AD was at Baylor during the scandal and they just hired Hugh Freeze

An upstart like this is normally a Cinderella story that everyone loves, but everyone hates them because their AD was at Baylor during the scandal and they just hired Hugh Freeze

People hate them but at least they're relevant
