Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[BullAdrian]

The new playoffs will be folded one day.. It doesn't work. Deciding a team for 4th place is the problem.. I prefer us to join ACC because of easy to travel to these games.

The issue is... -- that two AAC teams could leave -- ... what does the AAC have left!?

 

 

And what would it take for USF to do next year to even be considered? Winning football season (filling our stands with 35k+ average attendance), and post-season series with Basketball!? Fill our stands to

I love that they feel the need to have a travel partner for WV. Really? It's WV. Who cares. You got them because they're a good athletic department, not because they drive ratings in their huge media market.

That what they care about at this point and if the are getting a deal to add a team and still get the same amount of money they been getting then its not really hard. I am shocked at how this is playing out.

 

 

Memphis has brandished this FedEx $$$ before and just got invited to a lousy AAC recently. Why is it so different all of the sudden? Why weren't they the 10th team when Big XII expanded originally? They penetrate SEC country, are a bigger market, and can bring $$$.

 

... and have been a football joke for 30 years. I don't know that this rumor is true.

UCF isn't going to the Big 12. It's Cincy and BYU/Memphis. The Big 12 isn't interested in making islands so it most likely Cincy and Memphis to help West Virginia. It helps the FedEx is offering the Big 12 50 million to keep its current members from taking a pay cut till TV contract talks.

Sit back and enjoy the show and of course our bowl game against BYU

Sux that a public company like Fedex is subsidizing Mumphuss. Go UPS!

It's true and FedEx wants to sponsor the Big 12 Title game. They are using Memphis as a means to an end. Football is ahead of schedule and we are traditionally a post season basketball team. We got some powerful people behind the scenes working all angles. Blessing to be where we are located.

I know you aren't going to believe me because it expansion but don't be surprised if it happens. $$$ talks and Texas will shut up

I don't like to quote yoda because I think he is full of it but he is telling the truth about some of the stuff that been repeated on our board since the summer.

"UCF better in every way than Memphis. BUT Memphis has a benefactor ready to write checks. This crap has always been about $. Sucks for UCF."

My point is, Memphis brandished this FedEx money when the Big East was searching, and we passed. They presumably did it when Big XII needed to replace TAMU and Missou. They passed.

 

Why are they repeatedly getting passed if this money is so valuable???

bc someone on Memphis sports talk radio brings it up and they all believe it. Twitter is the worst. Everyone claims to be an insider
