If the PAC wanted to hurt the AAC, here are the teams that have had a season .500 over better in conference post 2020:

2021 ECU 5-3
2021 Tulsa 5-3
2022 Tulane 7-1
2022 ECU 4-4
2022 Navy 4-4
2023 Tulane 8-0
2023 UTSA 7-1
2023 Memphis 6-2
2023 USF 4-4
2023 Rice 4-4
2023 Navy 4-4

The above plus the avg attendance that I posted earlier should make ECU, Tulane, UTSA, Memphis, USF the most attractive picks that would also hurt the AAC big time. Although could Tulane being private hurt their chances? Is that a long term risk? The current PAC 6 all have "State" in their name. Tulane wouldn't really fit that.

I don't think they would want Navy as a FB only. Tulsa maybe as the 12th team but I think there are better options. They too are private. Rice is up there but being a small private school I think would make them a poor choice. Also, if they wanted a 2nd Texas school there are North Texas (who is now in the AAC) or Texas State. FAU has made strides in their AD, especially in BBall. If you wanted a 2nd Fla team they make sense.

If the PAC wanted to be the PAC 12 again and national, I think they add Memphis, USF, UTSA, ECU for sure. Then they need to decide on Tulane. Otherwise maybe they take Texas State and FAU which gives them 2 teams in each of California, Texas, and Florida. The AAC would lose 5 major teams and would be down to 9 total.
