These were definitely the best football members on the board. Do they consider going even bigger? I think it depends on the playoff format.

Regardless adding those four firmly cements the Big XII as closer to the Pac12 and ACC than to the American and Mountain West.

It’ll be interesting to see if the American poaches teams, or if we see the G5 leagues rethink scheduling in an alliance of their own. I know some programs like The Flagship University of Louisiana want more regional leagues.

G5 realignment to make all 5 conferences more regional seems doable if the AAC, CUSA & SBC all want it and cooperate (MAC & MWC already regional). But it seems more likely the AAC (now 8 teams) adds independents Army & Liberty and poaches 2 from 14-team CUSA; e.g., UAB & FAU.

AAC Expansion? (adds underlined)
N: Tem, Army, Navy, Lib, ECU, Tuls
S: Mem, SMU, Tuln, UAB, USF, FAU
