As an insider here at Washington State, we're already prepared to answer each & every question you asked: 1) We have set aside funds to pay between 50-100% of your AAC Buyout. 2) The TV Revenue will be at least Double what the AAC is paying you, as it's already being negotiated with the TV Networks (This Deal has been happening behind the scenes for months now) 3) The Pac-12 is planning on making the future buyout much lower than normal & take a risk to bring in the best Teams Possible to guarantee that the New Conference will be the #5 League by Far. 4) You are 💯% Correct. Nevada State Legislatures are holding up the deal with UNLV. But, we hope to resolve this soon.
FYI - You are also correct. We're going to send multiple invites to AAC Teams, and Memphis is at the Top of the list. Hopefully, it works out & we don't go with Option #2 & #3 because Memphis thinks it over too long, & then it's too late. Bottom line, the Fans really want Memphis, & we're all putting pressure on our Administrators, to get a Deal Done, that both sides are Happy With !
Yall looking to just add 2 schools?
The real question is, are they going for a Round Robin 10 team conference, or are they trying to make an east-west division breakdown
OSU and WSU with a bunch of G5 teams won't make a power conference 😅😅😅😅
@@pnwadventurer802 the top of the G5 teams would compete with osu and wsu sooo
Let’s goooo!
As a BSU fan, I'd love to see Memphis join the PAC!
Ditto that
As a Memphis fan, so would I.
As a fan the Pac is much more exciting from a interest perspective.
Boise State fan here. I understand wanting to stay in the AAC if I was a Memphis fan. You might have a better chance of making the playoff by staying in the AAC. But…so would Boise State by staying in the MW conference. They are leaving the mountain west for a reason. The PAC12 will be a power 5 conference. That’s the whole point of these teams leaving the mountain west. It’s way more money and better competition week in and week out.
@@rustyroosterrusty the PAC -12 will not be a power conference sorry
As a Memphis fan I want to be in a conference that has the best chance of getting a team in the CFP. This conference will be the 5th best conference. Sign me up.
It's not about making the CFPs it's about the most money and exposure. The Pac-12 won't be a P5 but it will be a Top 5, and it will likely provide more money and exposure.
BSU and Memphis are typically the blue bloods of g5 play the last 10 years
good conversation guys! I am an Oregon State fan and have been happy to see the progress today. I believe that you are right in your concern about what is happening to the ACC. My guess is the first choice for the next two seats in the Pacific Division are CAL and Stanfurd. That depends on the ACC. Memphis is pretty far east to be included in the Pacific Division but depending on what happens to the ACC I could see them being included in either the Pacific Division or part of a cooperative Pacific-Atlantic Division. In any case, best wishes to Memphis fans in the future!
There is NO con to re-building the PAC12 with top tier MW teams. Let's GO!
The possible cons are really high exit fees from the MWC, and there is no official TV contract (though there very well might be one being worked out in the background).
Soooo. Basically making a lateral move with a little more money. Not a power conference
@@pnwadventurer802I think triple what the MWC payout is ends up being more than a little more…
Memphis missed its opportunity to be in a power 4 conference when they didn’t get the Big XII invite. SEC and BIG10 are obviously never gonna happen and the ACC and Big XII are bloated as it is. The only way Memphis was gonna get an invite from the latter two was in a grouping with a Boise State or a similar school, but with Boise State going to the PAC 12 there’s no other comparable school that they would accept in a grouping. The PAC 12 matchups would almost certainly increase interest from the fan bases of both football and basketball and raise the stature of both programs as a national brand.
It is hard to say it "missed" anything when the Big 12 was not considering adding Memphis two years ago. Though I imagine that IF (and it is a big if) the ACC needs/wants to expand again Memphis is the best option in the east.
I rather not go to the acc or big 12. I like the idea of the pac12 because it’s going to shake up college football. Boise, Memphis, OSU, WSU can currently beat most acc schools, big12 schools and a lot of the sec schools. Memphis owns ole miss and they just beat miss st a year or so ago. So those leagues aren’t that great
@@dgart7434 the thing is I think the ACC is not going to last. They did just add Stanford and Cal but they aren’t exactly thrilled to be there, and FSU and Clemson clearly want out. Without FSU and Clemson the ACC, which is already bad in football, becomes worse. If the PAC 12 could woo back Stanford and Cal, pick up Memphis and Tulane, and then pick up some of the better ACC schools once that conference implodes then the PAC 12 would be a power conference again. Even if none of that happens though if Memphis were to just join the PAC 12 with one other American or Mountain West school it would still be infinitely better than if they stayed in the American, which is just a glorified C-USA at this point.
BSU Fan here, we love you Memphis guys! Come join us, bring a couple of your local friends, we will make some good football and Basketball!
@Chip4576
There is not a lot of money out there from the media .
The NFL,NBA,SEC B1G has taken the bulk of the revenue.
What kind of media deal can they get ? Will there be any real interest in the new PAC12?
They still will be G5, it seems like the future is G5 and P4 separation.
It's going to come down to SEC B1G maybe Big 12 becoming a jr. NFL and the rest not very relevant.
Cal and Stanford should join the Pac 12 again
That would be ideal, but not likely for 2 reasons. 1) Cal & Stanford are locked into long-term grant of rights agreements with the ACC, and 2) Cal & Stanford are on record with not wanting to be in the same conference with Fresno and Boise due to academics
@@JohnOdermott
2036 is a long time !!!
Will there be enough money to go to P5 conferences?
The next SEC B1G contract will have the networks NBC,CBS,FOX,ABC/ESPN bidding for their content especially the "The Natty" that with NIL do you think many of the G5 schools will be around ?
It will very expensive to complete in the 21st century
@@waltercole5024 A few things: 1) ESPN is not letting Cal and Stanford out of its ecosystem to go to TNT, a competitor (Mountain West has a TNT deal); Cal and Stanford are in an autonomous conference and the PAC-12 is not yet; and, this lack of autonomy would hinder the PAC-12 to compete with the current Power 4.
@CarlaJenkinsTV
The new PAC12 has no chance of being a power conference.
It could be the best G5 conference ,but in the near future I don't know if that will mean anything even if they add Memphis Tulane UNLV,UTSA, USF.
What kind of contract can they get ? Will it be worth traveling across the country for all their sports.
Seem CFB is going to the NFL model and only SEC, B1G,maybe ACC and Big 12 if they survive 🤔
No thanks. No drama needed. Just athletics committed schools.
I think the PAC-12 should be more regional. If I was making decisions, I would try to not further east than UTEP. I would get UNLV and San Jose State.
Exactly you nailed her. San Jose state is actually one of the highest ratings on t v when they play football in the mountain west. And when the pack twelve first started years ago, san jose state, what's going to be a founding member, but that went to stanford. We love our pro sports out here in the bay.Area and in san jose. When san jose state played oregon state last year, three million people watched it on t v. I can only imagine if san jose state was in a power conference.They would get good ratings
As a Memphis fan, I'm going to lose my mind if we don't accept. We go and Tulane will go too. Add a couple Texas teams. Bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Who knows what is going to happen with the ACC. Memphis has been in conferences with Florida State, Louisville, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, Houston, UCF, UConn, etc etc. We won the most games in the AAC since 2014. all those teams are in a better place and we're stuck with FAU and Charlotte. Get us outta here. Make the best of the rest. NOW!
Your neighborhood can look a lot different just by people moving out and others moving in. The front yard isn’t taken care of, cars are now parked in the lawn. Dudes hanging out in front of the house, your least favorite music being blared at night, paint chipping off the older homes, rental homes popping up etc.. things can change fast. Love the neighborhood analogy, I just wanted to “expand” upon that.
Would love to see Memphis, Tulane, UTSA and Texas State join. Would be highly competitive and provide every team involved with a reasonable array of travel distances. Yes Memphis would have to go play in Boise every so often and visa versa but they would also play Tulane and those Texas schools nearer by while Boise has OSU, wazzu and csu all relatively nearby. Enough of a geographical spread to cover a variety of markets and bring in a good contract with multiple time slots for games while also avoiding the insane travel that schools like Stanford and cal have taken on in the ACC. Feels like it would be a clear cut above current G5 conferences in terms of both top end talent and average level across the board. Also seems like the safest thing to do in the midst of realignment chaos is to partner with schools at a similar level of ambition and resources to provide a highly competitive and compelling product that will increase the national attention and funding opportunities for all members. More intriguing matchups means more eyeballs on tvs and butts in seats
Memphis and UTSA. Yesterday. Let’s go boys!
Tulane too once SMU comes in with Cal and Stanford crawling back.
@@HMbeav8404Only way Cal Stanford and SMU would leave is if the ACC collapses
@@Luigi22Greenyup, but it could. And if it doesn’t you still have the 5th best conference by a pretty large margin.
Memphis, UTSA, Tulane and UNLV.
Hahaha nUTSAck
To say that the new PAC is not equal to the AAC is laughable. There is no pushovers in those six, can you say the same about your top six. Lastly, the money will almost certainly be closer to 15-20million, better than your 9 million.
Exactly right!
Add in Travel costs NIL and y’all ain’t going to get as much x-tra money as first thought.. Going to need higher paid NIL players to compete at a so-called higher level for what? IRL y’all have NO chance to actually compete with SEC or BiG10 every single year occasionally picking off a bottom feeder and calling it a upset.. plz 💯🤣
Yep. Hell, just look at what WSU did during this years Apple Cup, a year they had nothing to prove while UW needed to prove them going to the Big 10 was the right choice, and WSU took them out hard, where UW lost their cool time and again leading to their loss against WSU.
csu is kinda a pushover in football.
@@murkrow2316 "Occasionally picking off a bottom feeder and calling it an upset" Have you seen the way these teams schedule coming from the mwc? Like wtf are you smoking that Texas, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, and Utah are bottom feeders? These teams put it on the line unlike really any other conference.
In the next 5 years these teams play :
Boise State - Notre Dame, Oregon, Wisconsin, Washington, Louisville, Cincinatti, Utah, BYU
SDSU - Washington State, Cal, UCLA, Oregon State, Mizzou, Oklahoma, ASU
Fresno State - Kansas, Oregon State, USC, Washington State, Washington, Stanford, Texas Tech, Georgia
CSU - Washington, Vandy, BYU, Indiana, Arizona, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Colorado
Oregon State - Texas Tech, Cal, Oregon, Houston, Ole Miss, Wake Forest
Washington State - Virginia, Washington, KState, Kansas
Whereas Memphis will play: Arkansas, Miss State
Tulane will play: Ole Miss, Duke, Northwestern, KState, Wake Forest, Iowa State
It aint even close.......
Many of your Memphis concerns are the same ones that Boise State has lived with. Waiting to be invited to a Power conference for many years. It hasn't come and it probably isn't. So Boise State decided to take a calculated risk and seize an opportunity. No guarantees but chances are the media package will be better, the national exposure will improve and with it recruiting, and the new Pac will be the strongest G6 conference.
I hope we don’t underestimate conference play this football season. We do it in basketball and underestimated conference play last year in football. It’s no guarantee we just run the AAC
If Memphis, SFU, Tulane, and UTSA join the PAC, it would be light years better than the AAC. If Memphis declined the invitation and Texas State went instead, it would be difficult for the champion of the neutered AAC to be ranked high enough to make the playoffs.
And everyone keeps saying that the new PAC won't get power status. But the top programs in the Mountain West and AAC are viewed as viable expansion targets for the Power 4. If the top group of 5 teams join together with OSU and WSU, why would it be so crazy to view them as the #5 conference, and consider an AQ to the playoffs?
The only real reason that would happen is the Power 4 wouldn't want to give up a spot. Not because the new PAC didn't deserve one.
And about the ACC blowing up. If the top 6 or 8 programs left that conference, would it really be even comparable to the New PAC? I don't think so. It would be marginally better than the AAC. So why would you pass on the PAC to join the sinking ACC ship?
As CSU Ram Alum! Memphis would be a fun road trip!
When this all settles out, the AAC will not be the path to a play off spot. But here is the thing, this will be the best of the rest. If you snooze on this, might as well be playing FCS. If you are wanting Basketball conference, SDSU went to the championship game two years ago. The rest of the conference is solid. Now think about Gonzaga and St. Mary's in the mix. You would be an idiot to pass, but people make stupid decisions all the time. The point is, we don't need Memphis, but It would be a better conference with Memphis in the mix.
Memphis should join the PAC 12 for football only and the Big East for all olympic sports. They could work with UConn to get admitted into the Big East by also offering them a football only spot in the PAC 12. This would be the best case scenario outside of joining a P4 conference for both of those schools. Memphis would be in an elite power basketball conference that would reinvigorate their program similarly to what UConn did when they jumped from the American to Big East, while having their football team in the new best G5 (now G6) conference and only having 3 or 4 road games out west a year. And for the PAC 12, they would add Gonzaga and St. Mary's as non football members so they would meet the 8 team requirement in all sports.
The New PAC 12 will not invite Memphis for a football-only invite. Memphis also don't possess the academic and cultural makeup required to be considered for Big East membership.
No way the Pac 12 takes Memphis for football only, it’s for all or nothing.
@@motec8222 when the OG Big East tried rebuilding they offered football only memberships to BYU, Boise State and SDSU so I’m using the same logic for the PAC 12 rebuild. The new PAC 12 may be getting 10-11 million a year with their new tv deal, only like 3 million more than the American so it wouldn’t be worth it for Memphis with all the extra travel. My idea is to get Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s in the PAC 12 to complement Memphis’s and UConns football only membership solely for the benefits of regionality and travel. I’d Memphis was in Arizona then they would obviously be in the new PAC 12, but I don’t think the travel for all the Olympic sports will be worth it as full members
Add 1 more School from MW (UNLV)
1 school from AAC (Memphis)
1 school from Sun belt (Marshall)
1 school from MAC (Northern Illinois)
4 additions and you don’t weaken the conferences too much and it makes it a 10 team conference
For the SBC, Louisiana might be a better option.
I’d add Georgia State from the Sun Belt. Large school with a large stadium in a giant Atlanta market. Only can go up from there
@@zach.feldman27 what makes yall different from Rice university? Not talking crap I love conference realignment talk
Good luck with your games on the CW! And Amazon prime.
Is that official or a rumor at this point?
@@dgart7434 Just a rumor, I think it would be stupid if any AAC team minus UTSA to do this without a TV deal in place. ESPN didn't want the PAC 12 minus UCLA and USC, why would they pay a lot for this. Makes no sense.
UNLV can’t move conferences without University of Nevada. They’re a package deal
No they are not
Government isn't going to stop college football. Didn't affect Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon or Washington
PAC12 is just MWC 2.0. UNLV to BIG12!
Memphis, Tulane, New Mexico and UNLV all make a lot of sense.
I'm sorry but Memphis isn't getting a power conference invite. They are leagues below WSU and Oregon State
The PAC 6 should add Memphis, Tulane, Texas San Antonio, UConn, South Florida and UNLV to have a the best opportunity to be mostly guaranteed the 5th spot in the college football playoffs every year. Additionally they should add Gonzaga, St Mary's, St John's and Georgetown for basketball only. This would solidify the potential for a really good TV contract for the "Best of the Rest" type of conference. If a payout of 16 to 18 million per team could be secured.
The MWC was ahead of the AAC. The PAC12 just decimated the MWC. The PAC will do the same to the AAC. My guess is that they add 6 from the G5 largely from the AAC. The PAC will have, defacto, the G5 AQ bid.
I’m a Memphis fan, and what’s the argument against doing this? You go yesterday. These teams are far superior to anything in the AAC.
As a person that lowkey roots for Memphis, I’d do a final request to the Big XII and ACC with an SMU approach of revenue sharing .. if neither says yes (which would be beyond idiotic) .. I’d then collude with USF, Tulane and UTSA to leave the conference.
Playing in a better conference than the AAC gives Memphis a better chance (while the chances are still not high) of being the fourth best conference champion.
Unless the Pac-12 media deal is more than $9 mil her school, Memphis should stay in the AAC.
WSU and OSU are making more than that right now as a 2 team league. Trust their media deal would be better than the AAC.
@@mathewblood5113 That isn't the issue. Oregon State & Wazzu are worth that but is Colorado State worth that same money? They aren't. So whatever the networks are willing to pay the 4 MWC schools is what the deal will be. That's why I think around $8 mil. Colorado State isn't worth $10 mil. So if Memphis only get $8 mil, are the increased travel costs worth an extra $1 mil?
THIS MAKES AS MUCH SENSE AS CAL AND STANFORD GOING TO THE ACC.
Let’s get this over with.. SEC and BiG10 need to split off on their own. Then let the little schools play each other for a Little school National Title..IRL Memphis,Toledo,Costal Carolina,Tulsa,UNLV Don’t stand a chance against the SemiPro SEC or BiG10
If I'm the PAC-12, I would have Memphis on speed-dial
The issue for Memphis is there's no way to go up as of rn. The PAC may be a horizontal move if not a step down, the school didn't plan ahead for realignment and now has to deal with being a reactionary to it. I wouldn't be shocked if Texas State, UNT, or UTSA get the call to move over due to the size and football success of those school for their perspective size. If that happens Memphis is honestly better off to jump ship and go to the Sunbelt before the AAC and ACC both implode and then hop into whatever conference comes out of the mess.
Its the Nevada legislature issue. Always has been and probably always will be.
If Memphis passes the invite, a couple of other schools from the American will be chosen and what happens for the next tv contract in the American? It will be worse with all the losses over the past few years (SMU, UCF, Cinci, Houston) and you will be making much less money. Now on the other side, how much more money can you make in this new conference? That's the key. Can they double that 8 million a year in the American to 16 million in the PAC? Those are important questions.
Reno is why no unlv
We went through this 10 years ago joining the “Big East” id rather wait for the ACC call tbh
1) The PAC could get 2 more teams in cfp before AAC got 2
2) FSU and Clemson ever leave the PAC > than ACC
3) For every AAC team that does leave for PAC then the AAC is that much weaker. AAC could look weaker then sunbelt
This guy said he needs information; no, he is asking to know the future. A person who runs an organization needs to make a decision based on the available information.
Arkansas state used to compete in the big west for basketball.
This conference shifting has gotten out of control! Memphis TN, in the Pac 12. East Coast team in a West coast conference? Wtf?
The conference that would give Memphis the best shot at the playoffs is the ACC. Half those teams are terrible, the other half are overrated and will boost your ranking.
Would anyone in Memphis watch a night game at Oregon State on west coast time? An 8 pm start in Corvallis is a 10 pm start in Memphis.
Is that your argument? Wait till the ACC implode?😂 The pac12 gets it's automatic bid back. The networks love it because then we can expand the playoffs. The networks get more game. The PAC12 is back. Hate it or love it😂
If they become the best G5 conference then Memphis will have to be head and shoulders better than any of those teams. Always take the money. Also more people show up at the LB to see these teams and most of the AAC schools.
The ACC would pay your exit fee “if” the big brands left.
No team in aac will be rated higher than top teams in the new pac12, wake up
Air Force, UNLV, Hawaii, James Madison, App State, Marshall, Tulane, Memphis, USF, UTSA
Also don’t underestimate North Dakota State
Liberty & East Carolina are solid programs also. PAC12 should add Gonzaga & San Francisco in basketball
they would need to pay $18 mil to leave the aac. was a 10 second search so surprised you couldn't get that info before this
To the PAC
Memphis and Tulane
UTSA and Rice
Utah State and Wyoming
South Florida and Southern Miss
UConn and Georgia State
16
If the ACC blows up what makes you think anyone is going to want to jump ship to it.
Nevada BOR wanted UNLV has to bring Reno with them.
UNLV and UNR have been in different leagues over the years. Those two schools are not tied at the hip.
NO NO NO NO MEMPHIS!
So they'll go from one G5 to another iteration of G5
Not seeing how this new pac-12 is better than the aac in any way
I honestly do think Cal n Stanford leave the ACC why because there not getting any money and are forgoing receiving money so the ACC isn't paying them anything nor are they receiving anything it really doesn't hurt them at all the ACC tied up and invested in Clemson and FSU staying with there bum sleeves.
sources say memphis and one other AAC team is moving with UNLV and wyoming
Gary, who at Memphis hurt you
Don’t do it Memphis.
Here’s a crazy idea.
Why don’t we petition the big 10 conference for inclusion. We could offer to take half the money that the schools get. Still would be way more money than we would get from any of the other conferences. Gives them conference play in SEC territory. With regards to recruiting I’m sure the Big 10 would love to be involved in recruiting takeaways from the SEC. We would be due South of at least 6 schools and a midpoint from West co
ast to the East coast and would love nothing more for them to be able to come into Memphis because we’re not really pulling any players from too many of their school.
Just a wild thought. But, these times require some outside the box thinking and some creativity.
If Memphis misses this boat it’s the end of Memphis athletics. The acc will lose fsu and Clemson and now you’re in a so called G5 again. So it honestly doesn’t make any sense to wait on that sinking ship. The big 12 picked a Houston school that sucks over Memphis. In my opinion the pac12 is a better option.
Yeah I knew some memsuck fan was going to mention U of H we are in you just have to deal with it we will be all right in football just wait and see 😢
Hell yeah. We have virtually a brand new stadium in two years. Lets put either Oregon State, Washington State, SDSU, and Boise State in there asap. It's time Memphis. Bird in hand!
@@chitowntiger1 it will be a great move and it will bring more exciting games every week.
@@ThaDLoShow901 Hell yeah. We need to rejuvenate our fan base. Tired of being left at the alter. It's nice to hear someone say we want you. Let's do it and make it great. Go PAC!
Memphis will be required to change name back to Memphis State
Whoever the commentators are on this podcast, you guys are out front and over your skis. When it comes to memphis, getting into a football playoff. Nobody's ever going to take memphis seriously. When it comes to footballI can guarantee you within the next thousand years. If football is still around memphis will not win a national title and probably not even make the playoffs.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In the future Memphis will head to Big12. Not logistically fiscally for Memphis to head to Pac12.
Also, you are still playing in an old outdated stadium. Memphis has potential, but a lot of problems to fix focus on those instead of Houston. Because they are still upgrading their facilities.
Our stadium will be state of the art. We're in the process of a 220 million dollar renovation. New press box, loge seating, suites, party deck etc. google liberty bowl renovations.
By the way, Memphis fans, I have one question: Why did the Acc pick Smu instead of you? Even the Big 12 didn't want them. Reason tv market
Why? The ACC had nothing to lose. SMU went for free. They get no money for years. SMU isn't that great of a sports program, but now they have a chance to build and get better. For now, donors are footing the bill. Eventually, they'll share in the money.
SMU fatcat is fronting them for 7 years. 200 million dollars. ACC said Ok. So they rode Stanford and Cal's coattails into the conference.
@chitowntiger1 So why didn't Fed Ex do it for Memphis. Still, you can't explain why you can't fix that dinosaur stadium you play in. Look, Memphis fans stop crying about other schools getting into a power conference. You should have prepared yourself for a possible invite. Houston did while they were in a G5. Built a new stadium and a medical school. Working on becoming AAU. So you better get your act together, or you'll be left behind again.
@@blackreign487 Fred Smith tried. He told the B12 he would front Memphis for 5 years and they didn't accept. SEC's Greg Sankey in an interview said he was really surprised they didn't accept that offer. I believe that's the reason SMU offered 7 years. Just my opinion.
@@blackreign487 Memphis just finished phase 1 of a 220 million dollar renovation. 2026 opening. Google it. It's impressive.
This is for all the Memphis fans about Houston getting into the Big 12. First, you didn't have a plan to get a new stadium when they asked you. Houston already had built one. The second tv market isn't as good as Houston 6th.The third is all the sanctions Memphis was under. Houston has a far better basketball program. Even now, you have a Penny Hardaway problem 2020, 2022 violations. Last, even Greg Sankey, in an interview, said the 3 schools the Big 12 should add were Ucf, Houston, and Cincinnati. So stop thinking you would've been a better add than Houston.
Houston is a commuter school. They are getting the crap beat out of them in football. They were better suited for the AAC.
@RZLAND What about being a commuter has to do with it. Second Memphis is trash period. I gave all the reasons and stats to prove it. So no matter how much you cry about it, Houston is in the Big 12, and your still struggling in the AAC.
I heard Sankey's interview. He said he picked 3 of the 4 teams. He said he didn't have BYU. The interviewer said I bet it was Memphis, and he said he wouldn't say with a smile. He had Memphis.
Hey, Memphis fans, here's some info for you. Why Houston was a better add. Head to Head (Memphis 14w/Houston 17w).BOWL games (Mem-15/Hou-30). Consensus all Americans (Mem-4/Hou-10) Heisman (Mem-0/Hou-1). Draft picks (Mem-122/Hou-188) First rd (Mem-4/Hou-15). Weeks in AP polls (Mem-27/Hou-203). Case closed😂😂😂😂😂
Wow someone has no life. Houston is a fine school and lucky to be in the Big12. But they were only good in football in the AAC.
Memphis 36-21 all time against you in BB. Read em and weep. Nobody in Texas cares about you. You needed the Fertitta's to buy your way into the conference. How you doing now? lol
@@RZLAND Uh no...... UH was always going to go to the B12, because in reality they probably should have been when the conference was founded. UH played with Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Texas Tech, SMU, Rice, TCU and Arkansas for 40 YEARS in the southwest conference (predecessor of the B12). In this time UH was not a slouch - they were the 3rd-4th best team in this conference - recording over 15 Top 25 seasons and winning the conference outright 8 times.
The SWC imploded in specular fashion - its demise had all the worst characteristics of conferences including collusion, corruption, political involvement etc. UH largely got left out of the B12, because UT wanted to monopolize the Houston area athletic market, so they got other B12 members to conspire against Houston with the guarantee their teams would make it and not Houston. Thats how going into the B12 selection Texas Tech made it but not Houston regardless of the fact that UH was at the time 35-2 vs Texas Tech..... This issue continued to exist even after the B12, with UH trying to join the B12 four times, and being accepted by all members by the second go around except for Texas. This is why UH REALLY REALLY REALLY HATES Texas.....
Also youre forgetting the Case Keenum days in the CUSA...... Keenum owns basically every all time record for passing QBs in the game for a reason. I mean ffs that dude is still in the NFL on his 16th season! Burrow was celebrated for 5,600 yards in a season right? Keenum did this 3 TIMES in his college career! His career passing yards are literally 20,000+. And this was back in the BCS days when the G5 put the league on notice that they deserved the same if not more respect than the P5.
@@chitowntiger1 "Nobody in Texas cares about you" I mean this is more because every school in texas hates each other and for pretty justifiable reasons.
UH hates Texas Tech, because they helped UT kick them out of the P5 conference. UH hates UT because they conspired to destroy their program for 20+ years. TCU hates Baylor, because Baylor got the governor of Texas to keep BU and kick TCU out of a P5 conference. TCU doesnt like Texas Tech, because they went along with Baylor and Texas to approve this. SMU hates UT because they ratted on them and pushed for SMU to get the death penalty. All these schools dont like A&M because they act uppity when in reality they havent been really relevant since before the Great Depression. A&M doesnt like UT for a very very very long history of problems and the LHN, which is also why A&M, Mizzou, Nebraska and Colorado all left the B12. Also all other schools despise Texas for this as well.
Memphis is 36-21 against you in basketball. Nice high school gym you play in you cow pie bingo players. Texas to the rest of the country is a joke.
Enjoy your 34-0 loss to Cincy. They were 2-5 against us in the AAC. lol
