The Sun Belt has peaked. App hasn’t. Leaders know this

Indeed. The only way the Sun Belt can go higher is if we banished ULM and a few others to replace them with Memphis, Tulane, ECU, and a couple others. I don't see the league kicking out 4-5 schools so it won't happen.

Sounds like you want us to be in the AAC, which is a financially better conference. I agree.
Everyone that supports the Sun Belt keeps saying wait until the new media deal to be even to the AAC. It’s not happening. We can join the AAC and bring that conference even more value.
Why fight for $5m when we can get $15m in a better conference.

I do not think the AAC is a better conference, because when Texas and Oklahoma left the Big XII, they backfilled with their only stars, Cincinati, UCF, and Houston, While SMU went to the ACC. SMU is the only one that was relevant last year at all. The AAC then replaced them with programs from C-USA, as did the SBC. The Sun Belt Conference got the best three from C-USA, Marshall, USM, and ODU, when the AAC got programs that were not the best in UNCC, UAB, FAU, North Texas, and UTSA.ASUFan4863 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 12, 2025 8:14 pmSounds like you want us to be in the AAC, which is a financially better conference.

The fans need to care about the games; it is easier to care about the games if it is easy for the fans to attend. The AAC is a shell of its former self just like C-USA and the PAC-12. In many ways the Big XII is a shell of its former self.
10 million more sounds like a lot of money, but it has not helped Charlotte or ECU win more games than teams in the SBC.

Even though LaTech may be voted in, did/will App still be a NO vote? I hope so. And who else is with us?
