Worth noting that ODU left the Big 12 for the AAC.

Tulane is the women's rowing power in the conference. I'm a huge fan.

Haha, that's a lock, for sure.

Why would they move? CUSA is a pretty good soccer conference most years, and South Carolina has been there since they were full Metro members. I'd be shocked if they bothered to do anything with conference affiliation until/unless the SEC sponsors the sport.

The AAC is still a more accomplished Men's Soccer conference. Also, Vandy and Florida are already headed to the AAC in Women's LAX.

Glad to have ODU as an affiliate. IMO ODU is a top replacement/expansion candidate in the East.

Eyeballing numbers, if the AAC is a better conference than CUSA for men's soccer, it's marginally, and probably not enough to make it worth Kentucky or South Carolina's (or New Mexico's) trouble to switch conferences.

The LAX thing from what I've read was a way to divvy up the schools in the region to create four NCAA-eligible conferences once the AAC decided to start sponsoring it. The most workable solution was to have Vandy and Florida leave the Big East for the AAC, which already had four all-sports members, and to move ODU from the Atlantic Sun to the Big East, which was losing the two SEC and three AAC members. Presuming that Vandy and Florida didn't want to split up, the only way to get both conferences to six teams was to add ODU and keep Denver. You guys definitely got the best program of the bunch in Florida.

Regardless, it's nice to see ODU get a spot at the AAC table, even if just in the one sport. Ideally, both my schools end up here at some point.

Here thought for a moment AAC lost a full member

Honestly, I did not know the AAC includes women’s rowing. It is a tough sport requiring strength, endurance, and mental fortitude.

The sports offered by the AAC are:
Baseball
Basketball (Men and Women)
Cross Country (Men and Women)
Football
Golf (Men and Women)
Indoor Track and Field (Men and Women)
Lacrosse (Women)
Soccer (Men and Women)
Softball
Swimming and Diving (Men and Women)
Tennis (Men and Women)
Outdoor Track and Field (Men and Women)
Rowing (Women)
Volleyball (Women)

Step in the P6 door for them. Once the crack is breached the floodgates open. Say welcome to your future all sport conference mate. You now have your future "VIRGNIA MARKET" on your door step.

After you pay your entry fee and the team proves it can win at the P6 level.

After we beat ECU in a few months we can cross that off the list. Ain't too early to stir things up with my pirate friends.

Either way I know all my ECU friends will be rooting hard for us the day we play VT.

Would be worth paying attention if our women's lacrosse moves over too. They recently announced they will be joining the Big East (I guess for continuity with field hockey)? Seems like the AAC for lacrosse would make better sense for us too.

"The Monarchs would join a lacrosse league whose membership currently consists of Butler, Cincinnati, Denver, Florida, Georgetown, Marquette, Temple, Connecticut, Vanderbilt, and Villanova. The same year ODU enters, Cincinnati, Florida, Temple, Vanderbilt and Connecticut will be transitioning to the American Athletic Conference to join East Carolina."

Maybe we tried and it didn't work out, so Big East picked them up to replace what they lose to AAC instead?

They wanted to keep the 2 SEC schools together and Denver in the Big East so by process of elimination, that left ODU in the Big East. I think the AAC would be a better fit for ODU WLAX, but now for that to happen, someone new would have to join Big East WLAX so that they remain at the 6 team conference minimum.

I don’t even know what ODU stands for or where there located
