Don’t think the AAC office will care one iota what Tulane fans think. If Boise and Western teams get more in television dollars and perhaps an eventual seat at the table in the CFP (which I doubt) this deal should and will get done. And I would be for it even though it might mean we fall further down the pecking order in the conference at first. It also may bring more dollars into our athletic program and my hope is require us to make the necessary commitment to even survive in a conference with that many teams. As it is I am bored with our athletic programs and their lack of relevance in college athletics.

Boise State brings nothing to the ACC. They are old news. That trick play against Oklahoma? that was FOURTEEN years ago. Nick Saban was still with the Miami Dolphins and the iphone had not been released yet.

BSU is a known program. They play good football. Can't hurt. Plus, we might open some recruiting windows to the NW.

After watching us in the spud bowel, Boise is licking their chops. Weekend in Nola and playing a team that blocks like statues. We need a std infected greeting team to meet those guys to level the field

All programs are known...Boise,Id is the 102nd largest TV market...they bring ZERO in regards to TV contract negotiations, and we all know, that is where the $$$$ are.....Colorado State, Air Force bring the Denver market, which is number 17.... which do you want at the bargaining table ?..as far as recruiting the NW...what a joke, Washington, Oregon they get their players from California !!!

Boise State would want to be in the Western Division. Navy is in the Western Division and does not want to leave. The Eastern Division teams would not want the travel expense (especially the 2 Florida teams). What Division would you put Boise State in? Boise State has a very small TV market and I doubt if any of the Western Division teams would give up their spot for Boise State. The AAC can Do better (why not AF?

It would be shocking if the addition of Boise would not add enough additional media dollars to justify adding them and then giving each conference member a slight bump. However, in order to make the most out of the add, two additional football only members should be added - maybe SDSU plus one of Colorado State/Air Force/Fresno State/UNLV.

Yes, what happened to Army?, was it due to army-navy tv package ? Is that why it wouldn’t work.

Air Force was that an option? .... Boise has a good football history, but that 102 tv market really stands out.

This looks just like the Wichita move in Bball, so must be a good reason for it. Really trying to strengthen the competition it seems. It worked in Bball, Houston is ranked 6th this week!

If not Army, Air Force or Rice.... then a Charlotte, Southern Miss or FAU/Ga state.

It hasn't worked in basketball. Other than Houston the league has no ranked teams.

The AAC needs an Eastern/East Coast team to replace the UConn football vacancy. AF would be the only team that I would consider, other than an East Coast team. No 2nd rate teams that would weaken the AAC. Maybe the AAC should go after Army. They fit what the AAC needs. No far west teams should be considered.

No team further north and west of metro Denver should be considered..Army to me is not an option, we already have one service academy with 200 recruits yearly,..Air Force is only option because of the TV market involved..... hell, want a TV market go get Northern Illinois....

We have Temple and Navy in the east. We don't need anymore especially since there aren't any that are worth adding.

Boise only makes sense if its part of some broader western strategy that Aresco is brewing up. It's Boise that has the problem, not the AAC. As a one-off, bringing Boise in makes no sense.

Wealthy tycoons like golfnut need a tax increase to adjust for the numerous tax breaks they received from The Donald. Poor folks like me need that $2000 stimulus (which was just rejected by the GOP House...thank you minority whip Steve Scalise, R-LA). How will we be able to pay our child support and renew our season tickets to Tulane football?

Don’t understand why those that back candidates who will raise taxes just don’t voluntary pay higher taxes even when their candidate loses. Nothing prevents that.
And Houston, I agree that both sides are full of scumbags. I just don’t like taxes.
