I also realize conferences as a whole are labeled as major or mid-major but looking at their success would have a lot to do with those labels I would think...here are the last 10 national champs by conference.
4 - ACC
3 - AAC
1 - SEC
1 - Big 12
1 - Big East
Also factor in the football isn't terrible and a lot of NFL draft picks are coming from the AAC, meaning they'll likely get the same level or better recruits in the future...this bodes well for the conference as a whole. Their TV deals won't be on par with the SEC of course, but they will be getting substantial TV money in the future. Right now, you have the P5, then the AAC, then everyone else (don't care to rank the rest).

Yet the AAC didn't exist then and the big east did. End of story. Good luck arguing your case in court.
The AAC retained the charter and history of the Big East.Posted: July 18th, 2017, 9:39 amPosted: July 18th, 2017, 9:46 amDean Wormer wrote:Pardon my interruption, I thought I was in the MVC forum. Can you tell me where it is at please? Thanks in advance!
