"I think expansion is the way to go. But, it’s probably not going to happen. The AAC teams will be getting at least 30 million in exit fees, plus entrance fees, which will probably make up for any reduction in TV money. Only realistic chance we would have is to take another run at Gonzaga; you take whatever money they are getting from their deal with the WCC, and top it. Work out some creative scheduling that will help convince the media partners to increase the TV deal enough for it to make sense for Gonzaga without reducing the payouts for the current MWC schools. It’s a long shot, but it’s a shot we have to shoot. \n\t \n \n\n\n\tSitting in the corner pouting saying, “nobody wants to play with us, we even try” would be pathetic as phuck. If you think the MWC will just naturally assume the AAC’s position in football you are looking through some serious rose colored glasses. The only difference will be our champ will probably be considered the slight “front runner” for the access bowl to start the year, but it definitely won’t be a situation like the AAC has now where their champ is almost guaranteed the spot if they win 10 games. \n \n"
