The Mountain West teams have a 32 million exit fee and the AAC teams have a 17 million fee.

I have no opinion there but a 365 interviewee said tomorrow's Pac-12 media deal will be in the low 20s. If that's true we can guess what's next.

Didn't Thamel just tweet essentially the same thing? That Arizona, Utah, and Arizona State would act in unison or something like that. I think they both have scoops with a promise of not expressly stating them. Who knows.

Just from experience I would say that Memphis alumni and those who attend sporting events in general don't live in the city limits of Memphis for the most part. They live in Germantown and Collierville which both have average household incomes north of 100,000. They also in DeSoto county...

Like UConn football I think Memphis is being treated a little unfair. Memphis is a Research 1 Carnegie School. Too many people rely solely on US News and World Report.

It's my understanding that the Memphis lawyers argued that this is like the North Carolina case. There classes were available to all students and so there was no special benefit to the athletes. Penny was a well-known Memphis philanthropist during and before he became a high school coach. When...

It's been mentioned by Dennis Dodd and others that Memphis and Boise State are next in line if the Big 12 expands again. That's a disincentive for either to incur all those conference switching fees.

That said, I think it's a stretch that TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech want both SMU and Houston in the conference. I can see one but not both.

Difficult to say whether those 7 schools are based on Thamel's personal opinion or Thamel's inside sources.

It's been rumored for a while now that the coaches want to try Bates at point guard. If they can pull it off that solves one problem. Memphis has six players who need to see starters minutes - and one will still have to swallow his pride and come off the bench ---even with Emoni at point guard...

Bates does not turn 19 until January of 2023. So he's not eligible for two seasons. Plus NIL money has evened the playing field between some college programs and the G league for the top players.

Because of his age Bates can't go to the NBA for two years. You really think he spends two years in the G League? You think the G League wants to babysit him for 2 years? I think it's more likely he spends one year in college and then the next year in the G League.

Next it looks like it's between Oregon (Nike) and Memphis (FedEx) for Emoni Bates.

Bowlsby sounds like a guy who is in charge of Chaos. On the other Aresco has remained suspiciously quiet through all of this. The aac has an ally in the biggest player in the land, ESPN. And both have an interest in seeing the Big 12 go away albeit for different reasons. It's not hard to imagine...

And he's coaching at Houston High School in Germantown Tennessee. Two of his sons are on the basketball team there. Mason Miller, is a top 75 recruit. Germantown is a suburb of Memphis.

Boise State just filed a lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference.

Sounds like a statement you would issue if you want to leave a conference without paying the exit fee.

Tennessee had it's 31 game win streak at home broken. Barnes denied his 700th win. A good days work :)

The Cincinnati player did not throw the Memphis player to the ground. He punched him. That was the call.

Frankly, if NCAA can't get this removed to Federal Court I think you're going to see a settlement.

Fishman, one of Wiseman attorneys, was just on the radio. He wanted to keep it in generalities, not reveal too much, but did say a few interesting things. The host asked him how they would respond if the NCAA files to remove the case to Federal Court. He said they would respond ------ and then...

For those who are interested *only* (Yes I've seen the name calling directed my way) ---- a few of the points Wisemans lawyers are making --- at least at this stage (link) https://247sports.com/college/memphis/ContentGallery/Breaking-down-James-Wisemans-lawsuit-against-the-NCAA-138266007/ -...

Question, why isn't the NCAA going after Alex Lomax? Penny provided a shelter, food, and a home to Alex when he had none. Those are certainly benefits no? Lomax then came and play for Penny. Just curious, why isn't the NCAA also going after Lomax?

I doubt Wiseman's lawyers will be arguing their case within the framework of the NCAA rules. I would think they would argue that the rules, as applied to their client, are unjust. And in addition, that the rules, as they are applied generally, are applied unequally. I know personally I've seen...

Also as the Daily Memphian, a Memphis paper, has pointed out Penny, who is a millionaire 80 or 90 times over, has financially helped hundreds maybe thousands of Memphians over the years. Under the existing NCAA rule all of those who received help and their families are now ineligible to play at...

One of Wiseman's attorneys ask the question what does a 2008 donation have to do with James Wiseman? He was 8 years old at the time. I think this helps you see what direction they plan on going. After the ncaa's "strict liability" ruling against Memphis back in 2008 - a NCAA standard not used...

Here is Memphis' position. They're, Memphis, complying with the court order naming them as one of the defendants. The NCAA is the other defendant. Wiseman is the plaintiff. Until the hearing or that court order is reversed it will continue to comply with it. On Wiseman's side he is contending he...

Penny made a 2008 donation to the school. That, according to the NCAA, made him a booster in 2017.

Memphis up 47-16 at the half with Wiseman playing. Can't have this.

The NCAA ruled that based on a 2008 donation by Penny to the University of Memphis he remained a booster in 2017 we need help with Wiseman moving expenses while his AAU coach. That's where the confusion with 2008 and 2017 come in.

But only one of those is leaving.

Precious Achiuwa is predicted to be a top 10 pick in the 2220 NBA draft by most mock draft sites. Just a little surprised he didn't even get a mention.

If Rayjon was interested in graduating I would think he could have. His name showed up on the commencement list with an asterisk saying he had less than 9 hours to go. That was before the summer. As to whether he could get a pro contract local radio was saying that a number of NBA Scouts have...

That rayjon Tucker may stay in the NBA draft is beginning to look more likely according to people here in Memphis. If he does stay in the draft if it's already has someone else in mind not RJ Hampton.

I think there were predictions that if Memphis didn't get Precious Memphis would probably get Trendon. At least how it was being reported by a local sports shows. Now it just doesn't make any sense. Also the 247 predictions haven't changed from 94% LSU. Typically if there was a chance for...
