Big 12 “not interested” in adding Memphis despite school offering $250 million in sponsorship to the league, sources told @On3sports. Memphis was trying to buy way into Big 12. Yahoo 1st reported Memphis trying to get Big 12 invite

But if we went Indy, we could get in the Big 12.

The SBC would gladly accept Memphis as a member for half of that! :-)

Let that be a lesson to Memphis.

"Gotta step out before you step up."

Jokes aside they have terrible timing. If this offer had come when the Big 12 was shopping, they (B12) would have pounced on it.

What RedTails said.

They probably have the cash now (thanks to him) but see it drying up soon.

They should have made this move when Houston was openly lobbying hard.

Houston will never bring $250 million to the BIG 12 Conference but what's done is done, and Memphis chance at Steam Boating this through is down the river.
