Pete Thamel of ESPN has an article that the AAC wants Army to replace SMU and is talks with Buddie.

Lets hope not. Independence forever

God I hope not

I’m not sure about joining a conference, but if we do we could do worse than the AAC. They are not as strong as they were, but that is not a terrible thing. We seem to schedule a bunch of their teams anyway and I assume they would work it out so Army Navy could stay in its special spot.

I think it is the right play for us. We need to be in a conference for scheduling reasons and the AAC is really our only choice....Frankly, I hope they take UCONN And UMASS too (only football) so there would be five northeastern teams, plus East Carolina, which is not that far away....

Nice to know they want Army.
Not interested.
Being unique isnt a bad thing.
West Point is a unique school.

"Hey, Army, just kidding."

The problem isn’t the conference. The problem is they have said navy would be a non-conference game since it’s played after the championship game.

So that means we have eight conference games, plus navy and Air Force, and that only leaves two games extra for scheduling.

So assuming we always want to have the local FCS school like a lafayette or an Ivy League or Patriot league like holy cross, now we only have one slot left for any team whatsoever like lsu or Syracuse or troy.

I hate that idea.

Independence forever

Just a plain NO if you want to win the CIC and be Bowl eligible.

OR

Just a plain YES if you want to make money.

And what AD doesn't want to make money??? They all do because the amount of money on their tenure, makes them look good on their resume and will bring them a better paying job in the future.
