As of right now, we'd have to really ramp up our schedule to be considered for the playoffs, which isn't happening anytime soon. For this year only, I think someone on the board said that if we went 11-0 we'd be a strong candidate for a NY6 bowl, but again that's only this season and not the playoffs. Freeze is also on record as only wanting 2 P5's a season until he can elevate our talent. When that is, who knows. But have Khristian Zachary and Nate Hampton commit hopefully has jump started our talent elevation. Also with football, as I see it with Freeze and his recruits here, we have a strong possiblity of being in a bowl game every year through 2024. I think those kids and our schedules may help keep him here for awhile.
As far as a conference and the AAC goes. If we're lucky enough to get an AAC invite, we're in no position to say no. The AAC speaks for itself. As far as other conferences go, as I've said before, we'd have to really consider them because we have to get all of our other programs out of the ASUN. I'm grateful that they took us in, but we're not a fit for them long term. And long term, they will hurt our overall athletics programs as eventually I believe we'll flatline especially MBB. A10 or Big East and Independence would be great, but probably not happening anytime soon. I'd consider CUSA or Sun Belt with a scheduling agreement for football, or even CAA or SoCon for our olympics.
