Six members only get half shares though so the gap isn’t as wide.
The discussion was about East Carolina so I was thinking of them. Aren't they getting a full share?

I thought so. That is why I said 2031-32 academic year because we aren't too worried about the ones they just poached from CUSA. I thought it was interesting we were even asked to talk to ECU but have considered 2028-2030 as the time frame we could start to hear real news on movement.

I think if Memphis leaves it opens up the AAC contract.

I like the football layout as 10 east schools playing each other and 10 west teams playing round robin in football with the champions meeting in the championship game. That championship game should almost always yield the g6 team for the CFP Playoff and should garner big money from a tv partner. Basketball home and away.

This should be a football only relationship so we don't give up the NCAA Basketball for the East Conference and the NCAA Basketball for the west spot.

I would really like to see us as a 10 football, 6 basketball conference (16 Total Olympics). I think this would make a much better basketball home schedule. I still don't understand why we cant get teams to come play us at home in Boone for basketball.

Because we are not a mid major powerhouse and Boone isn't a recruiting hotbed. If Kerns can get the team to stop being so streaky, then the culture may finally change. We were heading in that direction during COVID.
