Not yet serious though.

Someone with the PAC numbers tell me, do they even have enough financial security to impress AAC teams? Or is it an obvious house of cards that no one wants to enter?

I will say this, we were ask first, the numbers being presented were way less than what we’re getting now and in the future. The PAC doesn’t even have a media deal yet…that is why we said, “NO”!

At this point, let them go. At this point, they are trying to lock in the 8th school, and hopefully, this crap will stop there. The AAC needs to move forward, add a replacement (JMU ?), and develop a plan to move forward.

Any idea what Memphis' closest conference game would be???

The Pac is shaping up the be a high major basketball conference, and Memphis seems to be more of a basketball school.  However it makes less sense for all the other sports.

I don't see Memphis joining as a full member, and then that kinda defeats the purpose. Sending all their olympic sports to the mountains and west coast just isn't feasible.

Outside shot they would make the move with 1-4 more schools, but also hard to imagine that happening when there's no media deal.

Gee, didn't Memphis just sign a letter of commitment to the AAC? What is the world coming too when you can't trust the word of a University.
