Because those five will jump ship as soon as the ACC, SEC or Big12 come knocking.

This would give us the opportunity to do something similar to what some on here have suggested, get a bunch of good "mid-majors" and start a new conference. If we were in the AAC with VCU and Wichita State, that would be a great start. We could perhaps replace the teams you mentioned with several of the best teams from the A-10 and/or MVC (or elsewhere). I would think a conference with Dayton, VCU, and Wichita State would be very attractive to some very good "mid-majors." We could end up with a very good conference without the A-10 bottom dwellers, something we all would like. (I realize the remaining AAC football schools could throw a wrench into this scenario. Or they could form their own conference with some Conference USA schools.)
