I mean SMU hasn't even sniffed an AAC championship since they joined the conference. They've had some winning records overall but hovered around .500 in conference play. I'm assuming they do have more money and better attendance numbers than UA. Because basically every school does, especially those in better climates. It also helps that they get to play bigger schools on a regular basis as opposed to the sorry MAC schedule. I'm not sure if Memphis, USF, Tulane, Tulsa, etc would bring more people to InfoCision. But it sure as hell sounds more exciting than directional Michigan schools. Unfortunately we'll never see it.
