Conference realignment isn't over - PAC12 coming back


Ten schools that can afford the 5 million just for the move and able to make the 40 million dollar budget annually that it would take to compete on the level of the AAC? For reference, JSU's athletic budget in 2023 was 12 million. Y'all sound crazy. And the upper half of the conference is closer to 70 million. Even the Sunbelt has a median budget of 40 million. ULM is by far the lowest and you see exactly how well that works out for them.

There are not 10 HBCUs that can move up BUT you also dont need a $100M budget to be FBS. ULM aint us. Give JSU the FBS moniker and we would drag ULM. ...not that ULM is some measuring stick. 🤣 Also, the money comes with the move... so does expenses but that balances out.

Also, never go by they reported "budgets". Common sense will tell you that half of them are made up. I think BCU said theirs was like $30M a few years ago. If you think PV is spending $17M, oh well.

Just out of curiosity, why did their best teams leave? Could the AAC be a sinking ship?

To allow the Big Boys to expand. It's sinking BUT it's still the top tier of G5. If teams leave, they can grab from the best of the G5s. ...and Jackson State.
 
The G5 teams spend their lives envying Power 5 teams - Alot of G5 AD's and Commissioner's want to work at a Power 5 so they'll play along and do whatever a P5 says even though the P5 give a crap about them hoping to move up - P5 wants EVERYONE to clear up this HOUSE Settlement but they the ones that created it and a bunch of nieve G5s opting in to impress them

reminds me of today's political system
 
Um, their best teams left because they were invited to the Big 12. Im not even bothering to respond to TP, I forgot not to take his posts seriously. Good luck getting an invite when your budget is a quarter of the average there lol. And you'd need to increase it BEFORE the invite, not after. Even then, they still aren't adding any FCS teams. Won't happen. Not when they can easily add teams like App State or JMU. Half the conference bailed to the big east when they added ECU and Tulane. Ain't no way.

Jackson State adds more value than App State and JMU. And those two are way across the country. JSU is in the AAC footprint. Keep trying tho.
...and we dont need a huge budget to whoop them.

The question is, can you beat either of them while you're constantly the worst team in FCS? Valley smacking A&T or Hampton is just, stop it.

While you are gargling the balls of A&T and Hampton, it doesn't negate anything I said. They bolted to 2 dead end conferences
 
You another one whose posts I just don't take seriously. You gotta make a weirdo comment about gargling balls... at 7am on a Saturday.
 
The funny thing about this CAA concern is that , even with Nova and W&M leaving ... The CAA still has 12 FB playing schools and 13 Olympic Sport teams.

Might wanna watch the news about this House settlement, everyone isn't putting all their eggs in the football basket. The Patriot League btw is opting out. The CAA is opting in
