Did you guys see the latest expansion rumors? I'll post the link below. I don't see any particular benefit in bringing aboard Rice, Charlotte or North Texas. Wouldn't those teams cut into our revenue sharing rather than enhance it after Cincy / Houston / UCF are gone and the AAC is renegotiating with ESPN? The AAC divvied out 7m per school under the old agreement while C-USA allotted only 500k per school. Looks like a step backwards to me... Would've been much more excited about Colorado State & Air Force over these 6 teams combined.
Sources: The AAC is close to massive 6-school expansion to reshape conference
The league will be examining expansion and is expecting applications from six schools this week – Florida Atlantic, Charlotte, North Texas, UTSA, Rice and UAB – sources told Yahoo Sports.
