PAC Expansion

Seems to me, TX state maybe 1 too many TX schools for the AAC members, thus taking a look at UL actually makes sense to fill that spot. Can't see how Tulane could push back given all there would be 3 TX based schools in the imaginary league.

There is some talk that the PAC will expand to 14 teams and add a Southwest Division:

Memphis, Tulane, South Florida, UTSA, North Texas, Texas State, Rice joins PAC as a southwest division and PAC adds Grand Canyon in basketball along with Gonzaga.
That’s the only way they push the needle for big money around 18 mil a member.

Of course, this is all conjecture at this point. But, let's say it is a possibility. Would the PAC pick both UTSA and Texas State given they are so close together? If they pick only one of those 2, that would leave an opening ... for Louisiana. Would UL actively pursue that opening? Seems like a major step up in conference affiliation.

My Memphis sources tell me they declined.

Which implies the rest of them did, too...

No ROI in a glorified non A4 league.
