It's hard to say what Austin might think about a move - @Jekelish is a supporter of their program, if he happens to see this, he can give a much better perspective.
The previous moves of the 'Roo football team were because they didn't have a home conference option, so they had the freedom to find a best fit. I don't think the SCAC is going anywhere (especially after swallowing half the ASC) but with only six teams to play football and no Pool A bid for several years still (clock starts two years after they have six-2026 if Schreiner follows their current plan, so 2028 for a bid?) AC might at least think about it if they get an invite.
Hasn't the waiting period been eliminated for existing conferences adding a new sport? I know the Landmark got a Pool A immediately.
Agreed -- if the SCAC has six full members with a sport, then it can get an automatic bid right away. If an affiliate member is required to get to six, that's when the two-year waiting period is triggered.
