Sadly, this is true.    We can now put this entire hypothetical to bed: https://www.smudailycampus.com/sports/aac-commissioner-mike-aresco-responds-to-c-usa-letter-realignment-and-murky-future-for-conference And you'd better believe President Smatresk knows how to play these games and probably chatted with Aresco prior to sending the letter out letting him know NT was interested in joining the AAC outright.     There is NO WAY he was going to put all of his eggs in that basket.   NO WAY.
