RE: Memphis spending too much on FB?
Another little bit of info. We all know that Fuentes is looking to bolt as early as the end of this year. Interestingly enough, Memphis already has received interest from Bob Diaco. Looks like Diaco would be interested in taking over for Fuentes for 2016. Stay tuned because it's gotten a whole lot more interesting!
You're welcome.

Looks like the recovery plan will be implemented soon. Fuentes will not like this and will only be inspired to look around.

As I get more info, I'll post more updates.
You're welcome.
giving up 29 points in the fourth quarter. P5 snicker.

Please dont mention Louisville and AAC in the same sentence. We UofL fans pretend like that never happened.
Challenge accepted. Louisville was in the AAC.

Boise and TCU agreed to join the Big East ... but TCU reneged on that agreement when the Big12 offer came, so they were never actually a member of the Big East, and Boise State reneged on the agreement when the actual conference distribution to FB-only members ended up being millions less than hoped, so they were never actually members either.
However, Louisville is indeed a former member of the American that ended the season in the top 25.
