"North Texas and Louisiana-Lafayette stepped up their budgets, so that puts pressure on us to step up. ... We have to do that with all of our sports. Can you argue with Mike Sanford going to Stanford? Probably not. Clayton White going to UConn? Probably not. Clint Bowen going to North Texas, close to his family, with the money they paid him? You probably can't argue that. Now if it's a lateral move, then you have a problem. But we're paying well, our salary pool is in the top half of the league -- it's roughly $700,000 for the football assistants. And as our budget grows, that'll continue to grow -- but keeping staffs is a concern."

      Memphis, Tulane, USF Turn Down 2PAC....Staying in AAC

      If the MWC folds, the PAC doesn't have to pay a dime. The PAC would then take the allotted $110M+ funds that were designated for the MWC schools and use those funds to pay the AAC exit fees for Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UTSA. Why? Because these schools are at the top of their wishlist and help maximize the next TV deal due to their brands and TV market size. The networks interested in the new PAC are The CW (national broadcast), TNT (cable), and Amazon/Apple (streaming). The CW is already involved with the PAC TNT is expanding into college football after losing their longstanding NBA TV deal The last thing we need to do is raid the MWC so it folds on itself. Regarding your idea: This would grow the AAC to an 18 team football conference. If you're concerned about 12 teams in the PAC being too many mouths to feed, how can you justify 18 teams in the AAC? AF, Nevada, and UNM/Wyoming won't jump to the AAC for half-share distribution because they'll make less than what they're currently making now in the MWC. Add in the additional travel costs and it makes even less financial sense for them to jump conferences at half-share distribution.

      I'm not a lawyer, but something like that seems ripe for a lawsuit. Colluding behind the other team's backs and doing real monetary harm to those left out sounds like something you could see being a court case. All you would need is access to their emails and messages by lawyers and you would be able to prove they did this intentionally.
