Wichita State leaving MVC?

What do you think of the proposed move?

It's fantastic for Wichita State if they can pull it off. I mean, there are still some shitty teams in the AAC, but they also get Memphis, UConn and Cincinnati coming here to play home games. Those would be the three best programs to play at Koch Arena....maybe ever. And Houston and SMU are/can be pretty good programs, too.

I know that Wichita has been looking at adding football, and has been extensively reviewing all their options from bringing it in at the Pioneer League level, to FCS, to FBS, to FCS with the intent of moving it up to the FBS. I guess this would certainly open the door of playing football at the FBS level as well.

I think football is (happily) dead at WSU. Costs too much with not enough willing money to support it.

Interesting UConn spin from Hartford: Wichita State joining the AAC could be the impetus to push UConn to the Big East. That would be cool.

UConn doesn't do a think for me. I want 18 conference games and a true round robin. We already have the perfect conference. We got 7 teams in.

The AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC sucks.
All that will happen if Wichita joins is it will be dragged down to the latrine sewer level of the rest of those dregs. Good F-ing luck."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell

The Valley makes the AAC look like the NBA Western Conference.
(And that's not really meant as a compliment to the AAC).Last edited by GoMuskies; 03-22-2017 at 05:34 PM.
