Well then, enlighten us......

I’m done trying to explain to all you that think it’s about throwing money at it when the environment is the problem. Maybe one day after the university has wasted enough money you will get it

RE: So where are we in 10 years
All it would take for the Tigers fortunes to immediately change for the better is for the PAC to take a few B12 teams: maybe Kansas, Oklahoma St, BYU and one of Houston/SMU. This is the most positive thing that could happen for us - and, more to the point, the tug of war between the PAC and the 12 is going on right now. If the 12 wins it's a definitive nail in our realignment dreams and then perhaps we join a Coast-to-Coast Best of the Rest.

I don't believe any other university is better deserving of a Doug Flutie type event than us right here..right now while still cognizant that deserve has very little to do with it.

God Bless Tigers Everywhere!

I think most years, the AAC champion will be one of Memphis, Navy or ECU. Winning that gets you in a NY6 bowl against some champ of the PAC, Big 12 or ACC after the big 2 breaks away. We’ll be battling Wichita and UAB most years for the lone autobid into the tournament assuming our league still has one into the tournament that matters if the big 2 (maybe 6 in hoops) don’t horde that to themselves.

I’ve eaten my cereal out of an oversized coffee mug for years. I do have a bowl in my bathroom, however, but I don’t normally plan parties around it or express excitement once seated. I do care, though.

That's for sure.

Not sure about your opinion that OCS is automatically a better environment. But one thing I can guarantee would enhance the environment and experience is 10,000 or 15,000 additional butts in the seats at Liberty Stadium. That would also demonstrate to all the commitment to Tiger football.

Seeing that everything is driven by TV revenue, I don’t buy into the fan atmosphere or OCS arguments. If our games drew 2-3 million viewers per game, we could play home games in Whitehaven HS stadium and still get into a P5 conference.

Main problems we face are TV market size and economics, school size, low growth rates, and size/affluence of alumni base.

School size, growth rates & size/affluence of the alumni base could all be positively affected by an OCS. Take in some games where schools play OC. There is a tremendous difference in the atmosphere & experience - and an OCS gets alumni back on campus, causing them to stay connected & give more. The only thing Memphis can do about market size is win more consistently year to year & play an exciting brand of FB that viewers enjoy watching.

We have so many fans of the football program who are not alumni, which is wonderful, but they see Tiger football only through the lens of football; where most alumni support the OCS for the reasons outlined in the post above. I think a large part of the university’s problem is most of its large benefactors are not alumni of the school. They support the school out of civic obligation but there is not the irrational attachment to the school that an Ole Miss, LSU or Arkansas enjoy. The alumni of those schools enjoy an attachment to their schools that Memphis alumni, unfortunately, envy.
