When I see it on ESPN I'll believe it. Not a moment before. Neither should any of you.

Memphis makes zero sense on this rumor. They don't bring enough to the table to ensure that the other programs keep the same TV revenue as they are getting now.
Memphis creates and bridge to Cincinnati and West Virginia and they have a big financial backer in FedEx. There is alot to like about Memphis. They are no worse that Iowa State and Texas Tech.
Dude, why you create this topic and make it sound like fact? Bad form on your part!
I didn't create it. Get your facts straight dumbass.

F you dumbass

I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

It's getting depressing to be on this forum.

If Big 10 does not it get 1 team to the playoffs for a few years then they expand. Right now that is not an issue with TCU looking good. Why would Big 10 split the pot 14 ways? TV $ do NOT increase with new team additions until the contract is up which is like 10 years

That and having Pickens go to bat for you doesn't hurt either. For everyone bringing up FSU not going to the Big XII... that was going to be a done deal. So much in fact, that the ACC made FSU sign that grant of rights. That's what killed them to the Bog XII. Without it, FSU is most likely outta there.

 

 

That "Done deal" scenario was about a year before the grant in rights and not immediately because of an imminent threat.  FSU had plenty of time to move but the rumors didn't have legs so they didn't.  But you can keep on revising that history....

I REALLY doubt Memphis is going to the Big 12. Rumors are rumors.

Reality is rarely a component of these type threads ...

Big 12 will add a couple teams. The problem now is finding the best fit. I'm sure the Big 12 is eager to get to a conference championship game but what other schools are really that attractive? If USF didn't suck so bad the last few years, the combo of us and UCF probably would have been a lot more appealing.

The TV contract is void if another team leaves. However just looking at all the gaps that ESPN has in the schedule already the AAC fills because of the SEC and Longhorn and the other conference networks, I'd say they'd probably renegotiate another contract pretty quick.

If TCU gets in the playoff expansion is moot for a while. Why does the Big 12 need to share?
