I have heard we will build a new stadium and I have heard we will upgrade the Liberty Bowl.

I assume ON MY OWN that if we renovate the Liberty Bowl it means we have not gotten an invite to the Big XII. I believe if that invitation was in hand we would be building an OCS. I also believe it is possible we don't know about the Big XII yet, and that could be part of the reason no announcement has been made to date. ALL OF THIS IS SPECULATION BASED ON ZERO INSIDE INFORMATION.

and thats fine, but why lol. i dont understand why everyone believes you must have a big fancy on campus stadium to get invited. The moment you accept a big12 invite, you get money for a stadium. why does stadium have to come before the invite? and this isnt to you directly. it's to anyone who thinks its on campus stadium or bust

Dressing like a slob for the interview, with promises to clean yourself up IF/AFTER you get the job, rarely gets you hired. That’s been my personal experience.

I get your point but Memphis doesn't have that kind of money. They will once they get into a p5. There's just this overwhelming desire to have a new stadium without ANY PROOF that big 13 said get a new stadium or you're not coming

I think the recent announcements by SMU, USF, and Boise all about the same time differ with your opinion.

boise announced the same athletic commitment memphis did, no? an athlete's park?
new academic center for athletes, a nutrition and dining center, sports program and offices, renovations to their stadium, basketball updates to extramile arena (doesnt apply to us), updating practice facilities--still probably not as nice as ours, olympic sports arena (doesnt apply to us), new tennis facility--we're making a mighty nice tennis facility as well, new soccer complex--we're getting a new soccer field, track and field updates--we're getting a new one of those as well. beach volleyball we dont play...

so again..quit acting like memphis isnt trying to compete just because they arent building a nice shiny on campus stadium.
