Posted July 21Jul 21 Looks like they have their goals set a bit higher than the Pac-12...https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/memphis-proposing-lucrative-offer-to-join-big-12-but-it-lacks-support-from-conference-leadership-sources-175519540.html
July 21Jul 21 Administrator From an article in The Athletic..."Big 12 athletic directors recently met on the idea, and conference presidents talked about it on Monday. But the determination was that the league is not interested. One source said there was “very little momentum for this,” and multiple league sources expressed concern that adding Memphis could “dilute” the league’s value in the next television deal."

July 21Jul 21 Administrator The Big-12 media contract is 33 million per school, compared to ourB1G media payout of 54 million. The Big-12 cannot afford to split it further...Imagine if we had taken the Apple deal at 24 million...or even ESPN's at 30 million.We would be like Beavis... Mr. FishDuck

July 22Jul 22 Author If Memphis was willing to buy their way in with that much $$$ behind them, and get rejected, imagine the $$$ threshold that UNLV, OSU, WSU would have to offer to get a sniff from the Big12.

July 22Jul 22 They tried to SMU their way in. Maybe if they forgo five years of any payout from television revenue it might work. I guess that PAC Who invite isn't as prestigious, as Memphis is willing to go paying 200 million plus to get in the "truck stop conference".
