Five offseason questions: American Athletic Conference
On paper, the AAC looks comparable to the Big East in terms of potential NCAA bids for 2016. But will it get the national respect it deserves?

Jon gives the AAC alot of love

As long as we have ZERO representation on the Selection Committee, the answer is a resounding no.

Also, adding a non-football playing school will still make the answer a resounding no.

Loss of assistant coach and one scholarship in the future is your answer Jon. Asst. tried to get a grade changed for Keith Frazier who has become a bust and academic risk. Luckily the 2015 kids aren't from Dallas and have high GPAs

What does the NCAA have on SMU and will it impact the Mustangs' 2016 postseason?

Allegations of academic improprieties have created a Dallas-sized elephant in the room for Larry Brown's surging SMU program. The NCAA issued a Notice of Allegations in the midst of a breakthrough season for the Mustangs -- the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1993 -- and the on-court success, even without key players many thought would be in the mix, overtook the NCAA news in the college basketball consciousness.

Receiving the Notice of Allegations in January suggests, according to a typical timeline, that a Committee on Infractions meeting could come as early as June. Well, June has come and gone, and we still don't know what, if any, sanctions are coming for SMU. In the case of Syracuse, the ruling from the NCAA brought an immediate decision to forego the postseason. If that happens for the Mustangs, it would be an immediate halt to an otherwise impressive start to the American's first era of existence.

Temple needs to be a Top 25 program in basketball again. I just don't see it happening with Dunphy.
