Conference Realignment: Big 12 rejects Memphis, $200 million offer

Related Topics: Big 12 Conference, Memphis

Following the Memphis Tigers, a crumbling world approaches the gates of the Big 12 Conference, and in turn, desperation for entry arises without the ranks of the power four realm. Where giant and myth alike roam the Earth, and microscopic programs inflate into supernovas. History is written behind that golden barrier, but despite this American Conference Member's plea for asylum, their barrels of monetary offerings did not impact the gatekeepers to their hopeful destination.

Memphis has taken a swing at P4 membership with a $200 million offer, but the Big 12 declined.

While the school's membership is never an impossibility, the initial push has been met with resistance, as Yahoo reports the majority of the league does not support the proposal.
