I can hardly think of a single reason to join the AAC. We have won 7 conference titles in the A-10 this academic year. No school in the country has done better in their conference. We are having unprecedented success in the A-10.

The first chance UConn or UC gets to bolt - they are gone from the AAC. I am surprised Wichita is joining - although I think that is more a commentary on the weakness of the MVC than the strength of the AAC. I really think Wichita State has more in common with the A-10 than the AAC. I am not sure the geography is much better in the AAC for them. Would be interesting to see the average mileage for Wichita to each AAC school versus each A-10 school.
