Most of the football schools in the AAC want to be in a power 5 conference. I believe that UD is afraid to move because you never know how the next conference realignment will shake out. What if the Big 12 wants to add 4 - that kind of thing. Houston, Cincinnati, SMU, UConn (who may leave for the NBE as well), Memphis. That would/could gut the conference. Probably too risky at this point.
The associate AD will take direction from his boss and big donors. The A10 is a quagmire and I can't believe UD will stay unless there is significant change and that's not happening.
