Nice to see the AAC on the rise. Even if the AAC is not a big upgrade in football, if it turns out to be one of the premiere basketball leagues despite the loss of Louisville, it will have been a huge upgrade for us.

Owens said moving from C-USA to AAC was a big factor in his decision. They don't get Owens, we don't get LB, Frazier or Mudiay if we are still in C-USA

Nice. I'm rooting for the conference to make some waves

Going forward this is phenomenal news. Not only can you advocate UCONN, Memphis, Cincinnati, Temple, but also SMU, UCF, USF, Houston. Hopefully it snowballs into Tulsa, Tulane, etc.

Isn't it East Carolina instead of Tulsa?

Isn't it East Carolina instead of Tulsa?

It's both. Navy is the only football only member

[SMU 86]

Owens is the highest rated recruit in UCF basketball history.

Now UCF has two 4 star recruits for their 2015 class. Their blacktop court is pretty neat.

As far as football is concerned the USF football class is very good. Cincinnati has a solid class and even Temple has a 4 star recruit coming into them.
