Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 5306879, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1940938667264299445[/MEDIA] -> [URL='https://archive.ph/at2nb']The Pac-12 has now pivoted its focus to adding a football-only member, sources told me. Adding a ninth football-playing member would create an eight-game conference football schedule, relieving the burden of finding one more non-conference game. It would also add tonnage and value to the Pac-12’s TV deal[/URL]. Who are the candidates? Is the University of Memphis still a target? How about another Texas-based football member? UTSA? Rice University? Someone else? <- -> “As we’re evaluating additional members, whether they’re football-only, basketball-only, or full membership, it’s important they’re members that are adding value in the areas that are important to us,” she said. “That they’re adding value in terms of the competitive metrics we want to achieve, that they’re adding value in terms of our national brand and how we’re perceived in the marketplace, that they’re adding value in terms of our commercial enterprise, that they’re adding value in our leadership room.” Which schools add value? When is the right time to take another expansion bite? Immediately? Or after a cooling-off period and some thinking? <- [/QUOTE]
