Memphis makes a BIG12 offer

[Turbine]

Florida paid Memphis $1.3 million for a road game last year.

Using those funds (if repeated annually) it would take Memphis 192 years to pay off a $250 million conference offer.

And florida would never add a 3rd non conference p4 game.

Memphis might have the easiest road to the playoff of any team in the entire country. I’d say Boise running the table would be the only g5 that could keep an undefeated Memphis out of the playoff spot. If I’m Memphis I’m saving my $250m. Make the playoffs a couple times and let the p4 eventually invite you themselves.

And if they don’t, who cares. A g5 top dog isn’t a bad place to be.

If we put in the effort to support the program back then with facilities and resources like we do today, we would probably be somewhere in the American Conference with a chance to move up. But we sat on our hands. Just look at the next two seasons after this one, and you will see the results of what happens when you put no effort into the program.

There is truth to this post. There is zero truth to the post saying should have stayed independent.
