I hope we charge them $2,000,000 for change of location and then go beat their ass.

RE: 2023 Missouri game
St. Louis is now playing the Memphis game of old.
They have a stadium with one in it so they are desperately trying to bring in two out-of-town teams in for the tourism money.
Stay home. Keep the money here.

RE: 2023 Missouri game
If this game is moved, then we can count on future P5 opponents to do the same. Either play it here, or scrap it and take the buyout.
Mizzou will not bring many fans to Memphis & they aren’t going to motivate Memphis fans the way a State, Arkansas or Ole Miss would.

He doesn't sound or look as dumb as RC, but I haven't seen anything from him yet to show that he is any better.
NOTE:
He probably hasn't ripped off the school for hundreds of thousands of dollars yet, so there's that.

According to Evan B on twitter the buyout fee for the game is $250,000. I'm pretty sure Missouri could find that in the couch cushions in the athletic department's staff lounge.
If I were them I'd just cancel it, pay the fee, and move on. They can get someone else to go into Columbia and make that back easy.

Did you just imply Arky State motivates Memphis fan - comparable to Arky or Old Miss? They do not.
I agree that Mizzou is ho hum in name. So don't take the buyout to move it, unless it's a big'un. Try to move up one of the other contracted games (like Boise). If not, then try to get a series going with UCF, Houston, or Cincy.

They are one of our better home games next season. Season tix struggled this year and will probably struggle further next year with the watered down conference. Taking away that home game isn’t going to help
I don’t think a home game with Missouri would cause an increase or decrease in season ticket buying
That would depend in part on who replaced them.
It would depend on whether it's replaced with a home or away game. Not the names, but the numbers.

The buyout is spelled out in the contract. Can't refuse if they meet that number.

Lesson learned here is to up the buyout if we are the return game in a 2 game series…

I think this contract was signed 10 years ago so things change in the world. Plus both sides have to agree to that number
