There are reports that Memphis are continuing their
talks with the PAC. Apparently, the PAC, since Gonzaga came on board, are now in discussions for a media contract. This isn't over by a long shot.

He basically mentioned 1) payout from American 25 million (can PAC 12 help>) 2) current revenue structure from PAC 12 not that far from th American considering the extra costs that Memphis will incur. 3) Also, Memphis looking for increases in rights for them.
all part of the narrative...

the AAC EXIT FEE of $25 million and the PAC 12's offer of only $ 2.5 million to help made the numbers not work in terms of recovering costs and then the additional costs made it a bigger hurdle. It was NOT a payout from the American.

the money is there, then Memphis will make the jump.
The PAC just has to take one (Memphis), and the others will follow. Kinda like Oregon and Washington to the Big 10. If Memphis goes, Tulane and UTSA will follow (opinion). I think it ups the stakes for some like USF, as the first (two?) get the real deal, and the others end up scrambling to not be left behind, and end up with partial deals.

Tulane, Memphis, and USF are likely moving together from what I hear.

PAC will eventually offer Memphis the 25 Million and the others will follow for less. Memphis is worth it to get the whole package.

everything is a negotiation. I just needed to clarify the latest bit of misinformation from our own Iraqi Minister of Disinformation.
