Nothing official, just a rumor going around. Said to a group, after the 2017 game. Said that Memphis playing was a one-off that was likely to never happen again.

So I say, "never again" to going to the game.

One of his points was that schools not in P5 conferences need not apply for a national championship. UCF went undefeated 2 years in a row and never sniffed the playoff. No G5 school will get enough benefit of the doubt from the decision makers to get in, unless the expansion that has been rumored comes to pass and they slot the 8th seed to the G5 winner.

Short of that, what do you think the U of M should do in light of the fixed and broken D1, FBS college football system? If good coaches keep leaving for P5 schools, at what point do we acknowledge the ceiling that Memphis football has? How much more investment should be made? in what way should the school be investing in football?

I guess the question is do you want to move forward? Progress can be made short of a national championship.
