I think it would be in the sense that if VCU also leaves, then you have a core of three very good programs that would be in a good position to join together. It isn't so much joining the AAC. It's getting out of the A10's stupid media deal and leadership, and getting more money, and getting more exposure, and aligning with VCU and Wichita State.
There is certainly no guarantee that this opportunity will even present itself, and if it does UD can easily talk themselves out of it if they choose to. As for Wichita State, I think it's a good move and apparently so do they. That's not to say that there is no risk involved at all, but even if UC and UConn do leave, and they are replaced with say...Old Dominion and UAB (or whoever) then it's still probably a more lucrative and more competitive league with more exposure than the current makeup of the MVC.
