I still think that the reverse merger was the way to go, but understand the desire to be slim and selective.
Funny that slim and selective still means Utah State gets in. Also funny that this way they miss out on Air Force, whose addition to the AAC will give the AAC all three service academies. And that their obvious strikeout in trying to take the best of the AAC kind of cements the AAC as above them in conference pecking order.
