Buffalo will never join the AE. For one thing, they don't even think that they're part of New York State. For the last 10 years they've done everything in their power to make it clear that they consider themselves a "midwestern" school.

They've poured millions upon millions of dollars into what is arguebly the worst Division I-A football team in the nation. Their attendance is as awful as their teams have been, and still they persist.

Of course they acknowledge that they're part of the New York State system when it comes to sucking as much money as they can out of the NY State legislature.

They would never be "team players" in AE. Who needs them (and if you get to know more about them, who would want them?).
