Both bringing in basketball only schools from lesser conferences to a football dominated league (assuming BYU stays independent in football). The lesser conferences all have institutions that did not share the same commitment to basketball as the departing schools.
If Wichita St., Gonzaga and St. Mary's would consider moving to a football dominated league, what would keep us back?
And would UD and VCU be more attractive to the AAC if the MWC makes this move?

The MWC TV deal is coming up soon and I'm certain that Gonzaga (which basically put the WCC on ESPN) could help them get better exposure on ESPN and some more money on the deal. In addition when New Mexico (which is on it's way to being back), UNLV get back on their feet that's a nice multibid league.
I don't think it effects the AAC thinking.
