so does that mean we have to find a team to replace Southern Miss?

I fear we will be pulling hind teat in the AAC in football I really do. I think we will do great in basketball.

I think that hind teat may be a little strong but lower middle is very possible.

I would agree with lower middle at least to start. Now if we hire a new coach similar to Grant McCasland I could see us rising to the top quickly.

If Littrell is still at NT, it is because he has turned the program around. More likely NT will have a new coach.

So most likely that means that we won’t be ready to compete in the new conference.

Ideally the league would just increase cross division games to compete the schedule.

Interesting that the CUSA schools are leaving in 2022, I would guess we have no chance of leaving to the AAC unless for some reason Cincy, Houston, and UCF leave to the Big12 early?

I think they can leave early to join Big 12 only if Texas and OU can leave early to join SEC.

I don't think that's accurate, because OuT isn't moving until 2025 now and the Big 12 is picking up the new members in 2023 and 2024.

Money talks, and if teams can afford the buyouts they'll head to the new leagues faster than announced.

The whole situation seems very aqueous from top to bottom. I'm sure OU and UT are looking at the cost/fees/forfeit of money if they leave the Big12 before 2025. None of the conferences have set formal start dates except for the SBC, so it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
