The real question is how to move forward. Joining the AAC would merely be treading water.

Suppose the AAC goes after VCU. Adding WSU and VCU makes the AAC much stronger.
The wild card is the Big 12. UC and UConn want to join a Power conference more than can be put into words. The best chance for that to happen is if the Big 12 adds two or more schools. If the two chosen come from the AAC that would weaken the AAC significantly. If one of the schools does not come from the AAC or if the Big 12 adds four schools, one (or two) of the schools could be poached from a Power conference stirring up the national pot yet again.
Adding WSU and perhaps another strong BB school makes AAC BB look pretty good. But, the entire matter is highly volatile. A much improved A10, if that's possible, still has the most appeal to me. Maybe it's "improve or else" time for the A10. Love to know Neil's point of view.
