Re: AAC Bowl Record

But what about all their traditional AAC rivalries??? You don't just throw quality regional bullshit away for a few hundred million dollars! And think of the transportation costs!! Damnit won't someone please think of the transportation costs?!?

Make up your minds.

This is a dilemma that goes back 20+ years to when the same basic schools formed CUSA. The conference was clearly better than any other conference outside the cartel. You could clearly identify individual programs that were on par with the cartel. And yet, no one except USM could get out quickly enough.

This has only gotten worse, arguably. In its 6 years, the AAC has been to 4 BCS bowls and won a men's basketball championship. And yet you have shit like this $1 million bonus.

Of the original CUSA schools, only Louisville has truly made the jump, and they had to cheat like hell.

So what do we conclude? There are two ways to do things that work. Path #1 is cheating, and if you're in NCAA Division 1 my advice is to cheat like hell or drop down.

Path #2 would be to make your peace with a P6 conference, be content making the big bowl 2/3 years instead of 3/3, and collectively give up on the big move up. But it has to be a collective decision, with real exit fees and rules against crap like the $1 million dollar bonus.

P6 marketing is a good start, but the minute a school leaves the illusion evaporates and the game of musical queers begins. The loser gets to be the next USM.

Re: AAC Bowl Record

Our big long-term plan is to schedule Carey when they decide to field a football team.

If William Carey ever adds football, something will last longer than 4 hours for at least one USM administrator, requiring an ER visit.

CUSA is the exit ramp that USM mistook for the actual freeway. If the locals liked us, they'd show up with a truck and a tow strap, or maybe even a winch. But they don't like us sad

We should do something similar with our next AD contract.
