Coastal Carolina has had one winning season in FBS. Puzzles me why people want to be in a conference with a new FBS school that has had one good season since it joined FBS in 2017. Since joining FBS Coastal has had only one season that it won more than 5 games, last season. I think some Herd fans are wanting Coastal because it is a Carolina destination type school for many Herd fans and on the east coast.
There are several other teams the AAC could consider that would bring as much or more to the table than Coastal. WKU, LA Tech, So. Miss, FAU, Appy, and etc. have all had as much or more success than Coastal. If it's a history of success at the FBS level that the AAC is looking for it should look someplace else. Coastal may be next big G5 school but one winning season doesn't equal or deserve the attention it is getting.
If the AAC gets raided by the Big 12 maybe CUSA should go to a mega conference and send invites to Memphis, ECU, Tulsa, Appy, and some others. It would save Marshall the admission fee and/or exit fees and hopefully increase TV money.
