And it's prize is being at the bottom again

if C-USA folds. If it doesn't, then it would have moved up one rung.

Sad thing for the G5 conferences is that they are at the mercy of the P5's. All of this started because Texas and OK moved to the SEC, and the BigXII raided the AAC. The next time one of the P5s expands, Memphis, SMU, Tulane, USF, and Temple will be the ones chosen (service academies might get raided too) and that will be pretty much the major players taken off the board for the next 20 years. By then, the AAC will probably look like a combination of today's C-USA and Sun Belt. The MAC and MWC will both probably look almost the same.
