You can laugh all you want but there are lots of other places where the conversation today, is twenty steps in front of this and the conversations are at a mature level and focused on ten years from now. Not debating what is going to happen.
I see why no one with any connections ever post on here any longer. It's a cesspool of miserable and uninformed.
So the "good" boards have proof this is a done deal?

Good deal...when can we expect the announcements to be made? Summer, fall, winter, 2017?

RE: Folks are laughing about those who think this is done
I don't give a rats a . . what anyone says or laughs about. Doesn't matter. If I were guessing, I'd say it's nothing more than a bunch of grandfathered in SEC clowns praying we don't get in. If we don't get in, they'll have a blast being nasty and mean as they always are, a trait of an SEC fan. If we do, they'll whine and moan and play the FedEx trump card.
As long as the University of Memphis puts forth it's best effort, we can only be proud. At the end of the day, the direction the school is heading with regards to sports, is something I've not seen in my lifetime. In or not, if we continue to grow, win some big games, and remain relevant, we will be just fine.

Plus this time our location is more of an asset than a liability.

I'm not sure that I will know anything at all when I die, but if I do, I hope that I still know and care about my alma mater and Shelby County (where my descendants live).

RE: Folks are laughing about those who think this is done
I am not confident about getting in like Strat and Pickwick are. I believe they are and have good reason to be. I am just hopeful that they are correct.
On the other hand, laughing at anyone over any of this is ignorant. There are only a handful of people who actually know what is going on, and I consider Memphis to be as good of a candidate as any of the other universities mentioned.
Except TC. He has to be joking.
