It's a shame as the American was a great league at it's peak. Good and competitive football. UCF, Cincy, Memphis, Houston, and Tulane all beat multiple power 5 programs and made NY6 bowls I believe.
For those speculating about Notre Dame maybe eventually joining the Big Ten, it is a fact that Notre Dame already has one athletic team in the Big Ten. It's their men's ice hockey team. 10 years ago, when Penn State started their men's and women's hockey teams, the Big Ten began sponsoring men's hockey, and required all the Big Ten schools with men's hockey teams to put those teams in the Big Ten, which caused the collapse of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, which lost Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State. Notre Dame's hockey team had also been in the CCHA, because the ACC has never sponsored ice hockey, and was now homeless. So Notre Dame's hockey team applied to join the Big Ten and was accepted. So for 10 years now, Notre Dame has been independent in football, in the Big Ten in men's hockey, and in the ACC in every other sport. (Notre Dame doesn't have a women's hockey team.)
Thank you for pointing this out. I went to BGSU and remember our hockey team playing Ohio State, Notre Dame, Western Michigan, etc. every year. I always thought it was funny that when the Big 10 established a hockey conference they only had six teams. Then again, they have like 16 in football. Maybe that's why my dad calls them the "Big Whatever".
The conference did become the top G5 conference so it’s natural other conferences would pick from them. It’s like the Montreal expos before they dissolved. I feel a little bad bc Memphis, Tulane, SMU , usf werre all on the cusp of entering the P5 and there were many expansion opportunities and now with PAC disintegrating and B12 expanding 8 teams in 2 years and the ACC on the brink all the windows for options are closing hard.
SMU agreeing to foregoing ACC revenue is the dumbest idea out there. And why does anyone even think that SMU is "powerful" within their own league? They're not even relevant in Dallas/Fort Worth, let alone the 'Murican.
@@ken2xz20 I live in Denton County and SMU doesn't warrant enough of my attention for me to pay attention. And that's even more truthful with Sonny Dykes taking the TCU job.
SMU doesn't want to be in a conference with teams like UNT and UTSA that was clear when they had to play UTEP. SMU thinks they are the Methodist version of the fighting Irish.
as someone who was born in memphis and lived my entire life here the university could not afford it. football would likely have to move down a division which university leadership would never agree to do. memphis doesn't have the donors to support an independent division 1 football team, they need revenue from tv deals. basketball would be fine because penny will always bring eyes to the program. same reason why i don't foresee the acc or big 12 as they would be getting next to nothing early on, and they can't afford that. they're in a sticky spot right now, and i think their best outcome is hopping that a big 12 invite would come and with it not take to big of a hit from the whole deal of espn saying that if the big 12 adds more g5 schools they get less money.
Idk man, hearing there is a lot of momentum for Washington state, and Oregon State to the American, considering what the mountain west financials have been offered up.
UTSA was not the worst team. They almost beat Houston last year, and they were in the hunt to go to a NY 6 last year with 2 loses. I think the idea is get the best G5 schools to get into the P5.
Almost beat Huston but almost lost to UTEP! Utsa has zero top 25 wins and zero bowl wins in program history but they won the cusa trophy made out of icecream.
Oregon State and Washington State are going to the MTW. That's their only reasonable option at present. If ESPN and FOX were in support of a move to the Big12 then that would have happened already. Notre Dame is reportedly pressuring the ACC to add Stanford and Cal, but that seems highly unlikely. Stanford will probably end up as an Independent. No idea what Cal might do.
@@scotttildI have no doubt that OSU and WSU can survive in the MTW, although they'll have to adjust their budgets significantly. Something tells me Cal wouldn't even consider the MTW. I get the idea they'd just as soon cut their own head off. All signs point to the Big12 being done with any more expansion for the foreseeable future, but if the ACC implodes that could all change in a minute.
Notre Dame can still remain independent with a ACC heavy schedule, because Notre Dame is going to run into trouble with trying to play the top 25 teams and who in their right mind is going to Notre Dame to a brutal 10 game conference schedule
