To join SMU, Tulsa, Tulane, ECU, and USF?

People used to post all the time that we were joined at the hip with x when all this realignment first started and we see how that worked out. I do think now it is reasonable to evaluate a UD AAC affiliation to occur with more than just UD in the mix. If some combination of UD, VCU, SLU, URI and others moved together the move would make much more sense.
