HEARTBREAKING: Memphis Tigers Deals with Some Bad News Reports
The Memphis Tigers are facing some tough times, and it’s not just on the field. Recent reports have emerged that the university’s bid to join the Big 12 Conference has been denied, despite offering a whopping $200 million over five years. This move was seen as a major attempt to elevate the program’s status, but unfortunately, it didn’t pan out
The Big 12 Conference cited that any prospective member would need support from 12 of the 16 university presidents, and Memphis didn’t quite meet that threshold. The Tigers will now have to pay a $25 million exit fee to the American Conference, but it seems that’s not happening anytime soon.
In a statement, the University of Memphis expressed its disappointment but remained optimistic about the future: “The University of Memphis is aware of the recent conversations regarding our potential inclusion in the Big 12. While those discussions did not ultimately move in our favor, our University and Memphis Athletics are stronger than ever, and we look forward to continuing to strengthen our position nationally.”
On the field, the Memphis Tigers football team is gearing up for a crucial matchup, while the basketball team is making waves with recent wins. However, the program has faced some setbacks, including the transfer of key players and coaching changes
