No way UTSA has the money to pay a $27.5M exit fee. I can’t imagine any of the AAC school presidents willing to pay this much to leave for a conference without a TV deal in hand. If the PAC offers to pay the exit fee for Memphis and Tulane, they’ll have to shell out $55M, and if they want Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UTSA it jumps to $110M. A scenario where the PAC has to tuck its tail between its legs and invite only UNLV and Utah State and stay at 8 schools is looking more likely by the day.

I was just reading this article from McMurphy and thinking the same. Glad to see AF is behind UNLV and Utah St in priority. PAC is already paying MWC $110+ million for 4 schools. Poaching two more would cost an additional $55+ million. Sheesh, $165+ million for 6 MWC schools is wild without a confirmed TV deal.

You called it. After watching them put up 70 points and beat an undefeated UNC, I’m a believer.

Haven't we all learned a few life lessons while drunk? I'm reminded of those sage Morgan Wallen lyrics: "Got whiskey bent on whiskey sours. Ran my mouth to an out-of-towner. Learned a big lesson when I met the bouncer."

We may have found the silver lining in the humiliating loss to Tech. Sometimes an old-fashioned ass whoop'n is what's needed to humble someone and inspire change.

And we’ve got FAU after the bye week so 5-1 heading into Memphis is a very real possibility. BUT it’s one game at a time so today we enjoy the feeling of a good win and a 3-1 start. Tomorrow, we get ready for Tulsa.

No but I did read where you put El Paso Eagle in check. You sure turned his frown upside down. 😂

Porter was outstanding and was fun to watch tote the football. Hats off to the OLine for making lanes for Porter to exploit. TV crew made him the player of the game and interviewed him after the win. I also want to give a shout out to Coach Cobbs. Year after year it seems our RBs get hit with the injury bug and there’s no panic, only next man up. He always has them ready to go. I tip my cap to you, good sir.

Solid observation. Thankfully I didn’t see a single mention of disbanding the football team in favor of becoming a basketball school. Funny how that works.

ECU resumed play with Liberty after a 4.5 hour rain delay. 7-0 ECU 10 min left in the first.

And thankfully they’re not on our schedule this year.

HERE WE GOOOOO! 💯

Good way to close the half. I feel like those 3 points will be critical.

105 yd kick return. FML 🤦🏻‍♂️

Our defense will find a way to make them look good.

Club Lit is going to be dead tonight.

Navy looking like world-beaters. 49-30 over Memphis with 8:22 left in the 4th.

TCU settling in now, 14-17

Navy up 35-17 vs Memphis early in the 3rd.

0-3 Temple about to get their first win vs Utah State.

I’m watching Washington State vs San Jose State on The CW right now and I have no complaints. Quality HD cameras, knowledgeable commentators, yellow first down line, replays from multiple angles, 100% professional.

UConn was previously in the American and paid $17M to leave the AAC in 2020.

If you ask Charles Barkley he’d say churros and big ole women.

Yeah I remember Mike Aresco talking about this couple years back. I’m curious if this will last though as we enter into the era of super-conferences.

I'm sure some are thinking, but 16 members are too many mouths to feed, and there needs to be more TV dollars to distribute to new members. Tim Pernetti has been vocal about bringing in additional revenue streams for conference members like private equity, league naming sponsorship deals, and corporate jersey patches like the NBA has implemented in recent years. In the near future, I expect all CFB conferences to negotiate naming rights like we currently do with stadiums and arenas. The American Athletic Conference could soon become the American Airlines Conference. Memphis jerseys will soon have FEDEX logos on them and so on. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40342941/sources-big-12-explores-selling-naming-rights-title-sponsor
