Memphis & Tulane Have Reached Out to 3rd Parties About a Possible Move to the Pac-12 | Matt Brown 

yeah but is the revenue actually higher?

@@pavankat it likely would be. Low end 50% of B12 is still $8M per team more than what the AAC gives teams currently, and its likely the AAC contract decreases in value.

Heck, I'd be for changing the name back to Memphis State so we fit in better. PAC-whatever is better than sticking in the AAC with North Texas, Rice, and the service academies.

@@clottadams5028 yeah the new pac can take on schools from any conference and win. the order probably goes Big Ten, SEC, Big !2, ACC, Pac 12, AAC. And if the ACC gets raided again, Pac 12 goes up a level.

San Diego State and Fresno State turned down the Big-12 for a reason! They obviously know something we don’t know. The Big-12 isn’t very attractive anymore without Texas and Oklahoma. Utah moves over from the PAC-12 and is suddenly the favorite in football. Fresno State is already competing in the Big-12 for equestrian, but nothing else. With the addition of Memphis and Tulane and maybe a couple of Texas teams, would make the new PAC-12 a great conference. Then watch the television revenue come rolling in.

Did you not watch the video? That's what they just did. They already got the best MWC brands to join. It's now OSU, Wazzu, Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, and Colorado State. The addition of Memphis and Tulane makes the PAC head and shoulders above the AAC, both in quality and media value.

Especially with lost of Houston, Cincinnati, Central Florida, SMU and losing Memphis, Tulane.

Compared to what?

@@reverend_wintondupree what they have been getting.

​@@reverend_wintondupreeinquiring minds want to know.

​@@STC987because of what exactly? The mythical deal of Pac-12?

They clearly know more than we do. These schools wouldn’t be reckless.

Yes. Look at who is in the AAC and these schools. The AAC has 16 schools and are looking to add two more for sure from the MWC. Two AAC schools will leave for the PAC, that will be much better quality schools and not as many.

Well, the alternative is staying in a depleted AAC and receiving less money from their future TV contract. Maybe if they’re lucky, the ACC collapses and they find a spot in whatever comes next, but that could take a decade or more!

@joeykelly5642 while the teams the AAC added can't replace Houston, Cincinnati, and USF there is nothing saying that the new PAC will get a lot more. It is also possible that Memphis, USF, UTSA, and Tulane could demand unequal revenue sharing now or in the future.

@drgat6953 I agree with you. There is no TV deal and everyone is acting like there is an 18 to 20 million dollar per year deal on the table from Turner, the CW, or Amazon. I keep hearing this "best of the rest" title automatically being given to pac-12 light and I don't understand why. The only program with any kind of college football dominance is Boise. San Diego St has has a great recent run in MBB. Colorado St made the last 2 March Madness tournaments. Even if they get Memphis and Tulane it's not blocking out other G5 conferences. Liberty would have gotten the G5 bid if the playoffs started last year. LIBERTY!!!!!! Even in the year's where the AAC dominated that NY6 bid schools had to go undefeated or have one loss to get that recognition. On the Basketball front Memphis hasn't been able to win the American or have a deep March Madness run. I think it's better to take the field of all these other G5 schools everyone keeps disrespecting with that take. It's much easier for a Liberty, JMU, UTSA, or another school to steal that bid in football and the gap is even smaller in men's basketball. Where all you need is a good coach and some juco or diamond in the rough talent to have a great season. . .and potentially a deep March madness run!

I agree. SMU also. WSU OSU BOISE FRESNO CSU SD ST MEMPHIS TULANE UNLV SMU CAL STANFORD UCLA UTSA or Nevada

No chance UCLA leaves the Big 10 the money is too good

​@@blakeandersonECW420they getting a full share I agree on that

UCLA needs the money. It simply cannot afford to give up B1G revenue.

@@blakeandersonECW420 I know the Big 10 has gobs of money but the travel will be unmanageable. I’m hoping we can do away with conferences and schools get compensated for their brand value and success.

The preference is at least nine for scheduling full round robin for basketball and football.

It will. They clearly all know something. There’s going to be a market, especially with the MWC and AAC not being what they have been.

@@Steveb57267 your a fool. They definitely should leave that pathetic conference

Same caliber? Yeah UAB, Temple, Charlotte and North Texas are sure elite.

@@STC987 only time will tell, I’m telling you now that market isn’t ACC money. And having these smaller schools traveling as much as Cal and Stanford will not be sustainable unless they really hit big on the deal. Which they have no deal currently. Memphis and Tulane need to be careful either choice they make.

@@Steveb57267 nobody said, or expects it to be ACC money. And of course they don’t have a deal yet, it’s not a conference yet. But, they are clearly being led by industry experts who are helping them decide the teams. I could see the Pac-12 getting about a third of the ACC. Somewhere around 12 million per team. If they schedule appropriately, the travel can be minimized.

If they cant get more depth in basketball (Gonzaga, Whichita State), then the PC should pursue the Nevada deal with UNLV and Nevada. Nevada is a weak option, but you pickup some inter-WAC long time rivalries with schools and theyve been decent at basketball as of late. UNLV is what you really want and their priority is again more basketball, but more importantly you pickup a flagship stadium (arguably better than literally any other conference) for the conference title games in football, and as a bonus UNLV seems to actually be investing in football now too.

@@MattBuild4 I do think they will end up circling back for UNLV but without Nevada. I think they figure out a way to let UNLV separate at least for football.

They’ll beat Arkansas any day Memphis has them on the schedule next year and it will be a lost for a so called sec

Arkansas, no need to kick people when they are down. Everybody's trying to come up.
