RE: Why not Memphis?
Again, not sure this move makes sense for BYU. Here is a link to the Provo, Utah daily paper's sports section and you can see how excited everyone in Provo is about BYU joining the Big 12.

RE: Why not Memphis?
I just paused it a minute in. Wtf is this moron talking about? We need help?

All figures in millions...
Ticket Sales
10.76 Memphis
7.74 Cincinnati
5.98 UCF
4.88 Houston

Football Budgets
20.8 Memphis
20.4 UCF
18.5 BYU
18.1 Houston
15.8 Cincinnati

Donors
13.1 Memphis
10.1 UCF
9.6 Houston
6.9 Cincinnati

I couldn't find the data, but Houston and UCF students pay a fortune of their athletic budget. Ours pay much less. I will find it tomorrow.

I’m not sure I’ve ever been to a game that there hasn’t been a fight. The article even links stories of a UNC dad fighting in the VT student section, Bama rednecks vs the thUgs from the U, and Houston - Texas Tech in a future B12 brawl.

Faux News.

I wonder why that story made headlines at Faux News.

Did they headline any of the below brawls or was only the melinated scuffle worthy of "reporting" about

I guess Houston is out of the running now for the Big12.

The only school in the country that's 34% BLACK makes Fox News
headlines while all the other schools that brawl at football games are treated as though it's normal to see, like a routine brawl in hockey. Wonder why. 07-coffee3

But it's never never about race or color. To boot, members on here post said headlines MAKING IT ABOUT RACE but will cry it's noted about race when called out on it. Different day, same story.....

Wow. This is a rich. This coming from the people who claim Memphis' rightful exclusion from the B12 is a racist conspiracy.

RE: Why not Memphis?
It’s not fair, but we have a reputation to overcome. I don’t know what’s harder— reading the comments or watching the video. Ike can talk about playing OOC cupcakes, but part of why we weren’t invited involves 1.) that we have an NCAA cloud hanging over us. And 2.) that we play off campus, which coupled with the Liberty Bowl’s (mostly unfair) reputation really hurts us. It seems like every fan base that’s played in the Liberty Bowl has some apocryphal story about surviving a run in with “crime”

We are known for the BYU fight and for having an outlaw basketball program. We need to “walk the straight and narrow” so as not to give ammunition to the Memphis haters.

Search the forum for the thread these lunatics had on BYU.

Trust me, we are not all whackos but ours are vocal.

Also rich is this, coming from you, a supporter of the dirtiest playing college football program around.

Drunk fans fighting. Who would've imagined that. Must be Memphis fans posing as other school fans
