Tigers and ACC - back when B12 fiasco was going on
Can delete this post after a day or so since there are so many posts, I forgot to add this earlier but wanted to share.

I did forgot to add this which was pretty nice at the time was prompted by another post on another thread.

This is for all of us lifelong tiger fans, its a feel good - but its real let this sink in

The ACC back when this was going on reached out to Memphis and Tom met with them in Atlanta twice. Good conversation was had They were looking at Memphis and Cincy

Just FYI, like I said a lot went on behind the scenes as you could imagine. Legitimate interest from ACC back then. When the B12 did what they did it all stopped.

Tom felt we may receive an invite from the ACC if the B12 was going to move forward

yes, if the Big 12 had expanded...the ACC would have to keep pace. Thanks to some hard work and dedication by the money movers behind the scenes...and outstanding leadership...we are shedding our 'diamond in the rough' label to outright jewel methinks.

That can't be correct----if so--- then memphisike' street people would not have told him that it was a possibility ----and why would they tell him to keep it quiet ---like all the fb/bb transfers that he says are coming.

By the way my 4 sources are telling me that we will at least 4 fb transfers in 2022---but asked me not to say reveal names or schools----but rest assured when it happens next year----I will remind yall at that time.

the B1G requires AAU status to be invited.

They currently have a team that isn't an AAU institution in Nebraska. Granted they were one when they first joined Big 10

Yeah the AAU stripped them of AAU status after they were in the B1G.
Good catch, I hadn't heard about that incident.

That sucks. When I lurked back then, I knew about Cin and Mem being the targets for expansion. Then all of a sudden Memphis was out and not included in that public mess that occurred and I didn't stay around long enough to find out why. And like griffin said the ACC stuff was going on in the background so I wouldn't have known that. I would have preferred the ACC if we had the choice then. BTW thanks griffin.

So we were in 12th place as a B12 candidate, but in the top 2 for the ACC?
