Some Aggie fans are total DBs but I’d still like to see them get an invite

Why did MWC teams think the PAC-2 was a better option than the MWC?

I get UNLV but USU has no market. No one in Utah cares about them.

More BYU fans probably watch them in passing than actual Aggie fans exist

USU’s tv ratings on average actually destroy UNLV’s in football & basketball.

If true, that will help USU. TV ratings, especially for football, over the past 8-10 years are driving realignment.

So say they go with USU and UNLV, does the MW pull from AAC? Does the AAC pull from MW? Neither?

So this has to be a play to force Memphis and another team to agree to terms right?

This shuffle is why we need promotion/relegation in CFB.
