SI article on P5 expansion
https://www.si.com/college/2023/05/15/co...onferences

This SI article by Ross Dellenger is about expansion among the P5 and he begins the article detailing a meeting of the Big 12 and Pac-12 that occurred two weeks in Phoenix.

The Tigers are mentioned in a couple of sections.

”Within the meeting rooms, each league’s strategy unfolded ahead of their proverbial territorial battle. Just paces from the Pac-12’s gathering, Big 12 leaders discussed a list of expansion targets, four of them residing in the Pac-12: Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah.

Other targets are from a variety of leagues: San Diego State and UNLV from the Mountain West; UConn, which is independent in football and in the Big East in basketball; and Memphis, from the American. There are others too, such as Colorado State, SMU and Fresno, but they seem further down the pecking order.”
...

“Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark is aggressively pursuing expansion targets in an attempt to reach 14 or 16 members. Top priority are the Arizona schools, Colorado and Utah, but there are plenty of other potential replacements if the Pac-12 programs choose to stay.

Though San Diego State seems bound for the Pac-12—it is their preference—Yormark has held conversations with the school’s leadership about being the Big 12’s only program in the Pacific Time zone. UConn, the reigning men’s basketball champions, is a play for a foothold in the northeast as well as adding another basketball powerhouse to what currently is the best hoops league in the country. And of Memphis, the Tigers finished as a finalist the last time the Big 12 expanded.”

RE: SI article on P5 expansion
Sounds like the money has run out on Big 10 and SEC expansion. So if the Pac does not lose Oregon and Washington then they may be able to keep everything together. I think them expanding is the most likely new news to happen. That could include SMU. I think the ACC stays together. Why would the SEC want new members if it does not increase revenue? That leaves us back trying to get into the B12. Wish I could say they want us but history is not good there.

SI article on P5 expansion
There reports that 6-7 ACC schools are looking at ways out of their GOR. Things could be happening.

Well if that article is accurate then that GOR is pretty airtight and the SEC is really not looking to add anymore teams wo more revenue that the networks say is tapped out. It looks like there is not an endless supply of money after all.

I think there is a way that the ACC schools can vote to end the conference, but it has to be a pretty high percentage of schools so the numbers are pretty close

I’m not convinced the SEC wants FSU and Clemson. Where do they all go?

That market is going to crash and burn eventually. Especially with cord cutting. It's going to be funny watching ESPN struggle to pay all of these huge payouts. Especially the Big 12 without Texas and Oklahoma.

RE: SI article on P5 expansion
This was big news. Article said Big 12 really wants to get to 14-16 teams.

Memphis is still near top of G5 list. So 3 options...

1) Big 12 expands with 4 C's....ASU, AZ, Utah, CO....and all hell breaks loose.

2) PAC stabilizes with new tv deal....and Big 12 decides to be patient and wait for PAC 12 breakup down the road.

3) PAC stabilizes with new tv deal....and B12 decides to proceed with expansion with some combo of Memphis, UCONN, SDSU, UNLV to get to 14-16.

I still contend it would be best if PAC adds SDSU/SMU. It would eliminate 2 expansion competitors for Memphis.

Also really surprised Boise and USF still not in that top group.

I'm done with Lucy and the football on this.

We're not getting in and I don't really care about the details anymore. College sports is totally corrupt and disgusting now anyway.

Everyone transfers every single year, players have power over the coaches, men are allowed to beat women in female sports, 18 year olds are just working programs for money.

What a dumpster fire.

Sadly, you aint wrong. I'll believe we are advancing to a better conference the day after it happens. As to the college sports being corrupt, yeah they are. After some of the shenanigans we witnessed the last year or two you're going to have to work really hard to convince me otherwise.

Yep, NIL has just brought the sunshine to recruiting where we can now all see what has been going on for years under the table. We can now see the that we are much more disadvantaged that we imagined. And from what I can tell from current NIL collections disclosure on behave of our university, in total it is less than the big dogs pay one player.

Greed has destroyed college athletics.

It's essentially just semi-pro / minor league sports.

Eventually a few somebodies with a large enough following will start beating this drum and a bunch of folks are going to figure out they are being charged top dollar for a minor league product.

Between the transfer rules and the NIL slush funds it really is the wild west - no holds barred.

No way BC, Duke, WF & Syracuse vote too give up there welfare check. That would be like Vandy voting to leave the SEC, thinking they'd prefer independence to a $100M check every year.

I think this is the ACC's problem, too many Vandy's who aren't giving up that check to dissolve the conference

That is exactly the problem with the ACC, and the reason why the Big 12 got destroyed. The lesser lights cashing the welfare checks don't want anything to happen to put them on an even lower rung.
