The AAC? Lol! WTF are you talking about? That NEVER would have happened.

We would be in the Big 10 starting next year if we didn't jump to the SEC.

And yet there was talk of Mizzou to the Big East, which became the AAC for the schools with football teams.

Sure Gee talked about wanting Mizzou, but his voice was not strong enough and he was out of a job shortly. B1G wanted to get into the east coast markets, and Mizzou did not offer that. Mizzou was just the opening gambit to get Nebraska to move. The biggest thing getting Mizzou in the SEC was the gentleman's not to raid the ACC, otherwise SEC would have added TAMU and VPI to get to 14. Lots of folks were pushing that scenario early on.
