One of the first calls AAC commissioner Mike Aresco should make is to BYU athletics director Tom Holmoe to gauge whether the school would be interested in joining the league in a football-only capacity. Most of the school’s Olympic sports (12) already fall under the umbrella of the West Coast Conference, including men’s and women’s basketball. Football has remained independent since leaving the Mountain West Conference in 2010 but there are some who believe the Cougars could be one of the top choices if another round of conference realignment happens.
