Essentially doing the exact same thing every other school is doing - looking out for themselves, but being dumber by turning down around $12 million extra to join a dying league. Nut up and join the Big 12, improve your other facilities and compete in legit conference or stay practically irrelevant in the MWC who is already better than the Big East.

Makes no sense to me. They do realize they can schedule their buddies Army and Navy as OCC still, right?

And the Memphis AD, RC Johnson, is a bigger idiot. They are lucky not to be demoted to the Sun Belt.
Well for one, he retracted the statement from what I heard. And 2, basketball far and away makes up for their football program. The basketball team is in the top 10% of programs if not better, though Calipari wrecked some of that. And saying someone should be in the Sun Belt is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe 10 years ago when UNT was winning the conference at 5-6, but not anymore.
