Critical Thinker

USF is farther West, so I'd send them.

However, if you were the AAC commissioner, how would you realign the East and West sub-conferences within the AAC?

I would keep what you have, except I would put one of the Florida teams in the west and send Memphis to the east so each conference only has to travel to one outlier in their division. I would also make a clause that guaranteed the Florida teams would play each other in cross-divisional play.

AAC (16)

AAC East: UConn, East Carolina, South Florida, Temple, Central Florida, Army, Navy, UMass

AAC West: Houston, Memphis, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, Southern Miss, Rice

The schools within the East and West are pretty close to each other, but the East and West are pretty far apart on their own. Houston, SMU, and Tulane compared to UMass, UCONN, and Army are half the country apart. Trips like that aren't something a school wants to make on a routine basis, especially the non-revenue sports.

In my mind leaving the NCAA would severely hurt the non revenue sports of the P5 schools.

What makes you think the P5 schools care about their non-revenue sports?

I feel really slow for not figuring this out yet, but how do you change the text underneath the avatar?

You need 500 posts first.

Can I change the name of a thread that I created? And if so, how?

Yes. Edit your original post and just change the thread name under "topic title". And for future reference, something like this belongs in the Q&A thread under Forum Announcements.

Your thoughts guys?

I actually kind of like this. There's nothing here that I'd be against seeing. The AAC would probably be better off splitting into an east and west conference on their own, though.

I remember seeing sketches and computer models for a new A's ballpark (though I can't remember where they planned on putting it- I think they left it in Oakland) called Cisco Park. They looked like pretty complete renderings from an architecture firm that designed a whole ballpark. They had even designed it to fit in with a downtown district, with a street beyond the outfield wall that closed on gameday. It looked pretty cool, and wasn't even remotely comparable to the crappy football field they play on now. What a waste.

Wyoming's yellow (or gold, I don't know what they call it) and brown is my favorite color scheme of any jersey. There, I said it.
