Wichita State to AAC

[Deano]

Sources: Shockers would accept invite to AAC

Maybe the AAC could ship UConn to the Missouri Valley as a trade off.

Hey, anything is possible. Boise State almost went to the Big East

i bang on Wichita here a lot but that is not meant to be a knock on their program but their scheduling.
hats off to the shockers if they join up with a tougher conference. jump up a pond size !

Creighton is in the Big East, at this point who cares?

It's hard for them to schedule up when the big boys don't want to comply. I don't agree with Marshall's stance on home-and-home's only, but I understand it. They should try a 2-for-1 approach if they are determined to get a home game back.

 

[tbonezone]

true. i commented on this issue in another thread but frankly a team like syracuse is going to face top 25 competition all year in conference. wichita state is not. they need quality wins. we don't. it is there own best interest to get over the home and home fantasy and travel to some difficult matchups every year.

Smart for both sides.
AAC would be getting Navy football/Wichita State everything else.

It's smart for both sides. A trip to Wichita isn't any different than a trip to Tulsa.

Bet Nova's thrilled with that idea. Not.

Without a football team, I would think that Wichita State would make more sense for the BE than the AAC.

 

[PoppyHart]

They are gonna be great next year.

The huskies get the shocker

Sad to see this happen to the MVC. Used to be a pretty fun conference to watch in my area with Creighton, Wichita State and Northern Iowa.

I am sure that they don't really care since they're in the Big East lol

I bet UConn didn't expect 10 years ago to be a middle-tier program in a mid-major conference with the likes of Wichita State, Tulsa, Tulane and East Carolina.

I was thinking more like off to Mars ...

Almost brings a tear to the eye. It's just so beautiful.

Who would have thought, 5 years ago, both UConn and SU would be coming off missed NCAATs and scrambling to throw together a roster.

Can't we laugh at UConn in peace?

Duh...must have had brain lock. Just gave myself 10 lashes to atone.

I don't think we expected to be a bubble team 4 years in a row.

Uconn also has 2 titles in the past 6 years.

Looking to join next Fall. Should help the conference's profile since UConn, Temple and Memphis are down right now.
