1.6.16

18 team AAC?

Since the Big 12 won't likely expand maybe it's time for the American Athletic Conference to be the team that expands and goes into the Big 12 - sure, financially it would be a struggle but if Texas won't budge on the Longhorn Network, there's more TV money to be made in the AAC.

Take the existing league:
Cincinnati
UCF
USF
UConn
ECU
Temple
----
SMU
Houston
Tulane
Tulsa
Navy (football only)
Memphis

Add 4 Big 12 teams:
Kansas State
Iowa State
Oklahoma State
Texas Tech

And
Boise State (if not, Colorado State)
BYU (football only)

To make these divisions:

Cincy
UCF
USF
UConn
ECU
Temple
Memphis
Navy (football only)
Iowa State

SMU
Houston
Tulsa
Kansas State
Iowa State
Oklahoma State
Texas Tech
BYU
Boise St

7 games in division, 2 cross overs, 3 OOC (1 min vs. P5).

Nearly every non-West Coast major market is in this league. Football wise it's comparable to the ACC. Basketball is very strong at top.
