Air Force Targeted for American Athletic Conference Expansion

The AAC aims to include all three service academies by adding Air Force amid ongoing conference realignments.

  • The AAC has expressed serious interest in adding Air Force to its roster, joining Army and Navy in the conference.
  • This move follows the Pac-12's recent acquisition of four Mountain West schools, leaving Air Force's current conference vulnerable.
  • Air Force has been a consistent performer in college football, with multiple double-digit win seasons in recent years.
  • The addition of Air Force would make it the first AAC member located in the Mountain time zone.
  • Speculation suggests the AAC might lose schools like Memphis and Tulane to the restructured Pac-12, making Air Force a strategic addition.
