I read somewhere that UTSA was a complimentary addition to the other official invites because they would have been a great travel partner. Makes me speculate that it was more about their location than their brand.
Jerrod told us at the tailgate last weekend that we told the conference up front that we had no interest in it. Jerrod said he had queries dozens of AD's across the country and they all said it would be a terrible deal both financially and for the student athletes. UTSA is so god damned horny for $$ that they raised their skirt up high when the Pac 12 came calling. They never received an invite only moderate interest which they reciprocated AGAINST the wishes of Pernetti by the way.
Now you could make the argument that we should have been more open to what they had to offer but it was a business decision to be loyal to the conference and the new commissioner at this time.
