Re: Conference Realignment
Not sure what the benefit to moving to the AAC would be . With the extensive travel that would be required I think they would be crazy to do such a thing unless thdy know something else is going down. If they were a football school that would be another thing.

Re: Conference Realignment
Army joining the AAC is not good for independents UConn and UMass. League membership means less OOC games for Army. They, as an independent, were recently playing the fairly close by UConn and UMass nearly every season. That will likely be no more given a large portion of their schedule will be res...

Routinely getting annual multiple NCAA bids from the A-10 with the present 68 team field would mean taking away at large bids from the power conferences. They will not allow that.
