If the Big XII poaches Cincinnati, Memphis, UCF, USF I agree that the MWC is a better option for SMU along with Houston than a backfilled AAC. We've already backfilled once with the additions of Tulsa, Tulane and East Carolina. Backfilling again would make us CUSA without two of the top program and at that point the MWC is the stronger conference. Mountain time makes it workable and the basketball tournament in Las Vegas is solid. The additions of SMU and Houston might help improve their tv contract going forward. Anyway, no sense in worrying about something we can't control at this point. We need to continue to recruit well and win big in football and basketball and we have been doing that better than at any point following the DP so we are in our strongest position yet in the realignment world.
