Might as well have a thread to discuss this.

So far the Big12 has lost UT and OU to SEC. Big12 is backfilling by adding UFC, Cincy and UH from AAC and BYU.

AAC is going to need to fill at least 3 spots, but more likely will add 4 teams to get to an even 12 teams.

A lot of chatter that UTSA is on the 2nd tier of choices for the AAC behind a few MWC schools and UAB. UTSA, FAU, UNT are some of the schools I have seen mentioned so far. Here is a good article outlining this. https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...ndful-of-expansion-candidates-in-realignment/

The Sunbelt is also talking about expansion, but I don't see any reason to pay to go to that conference. A few of the CUSA eastern teams are rumored to be considering it though. Marshall, ODU, and S Miss being the schools listed most often.
