Memphis athletic director Dr. Ed Scott outlines why moving to the Pac-12 was a 'bad deal'

SDSU Fan here. Would have loved to have you guys come over, mainly because I wanted to see my Aztecs play you guys in basketball. But maybe sometime in the future.

Thanks to the reporter at 18:40 for cutting off AD Scott before he gave us more context to the question of whether they planned to counter-offer.

Great AD, I’d love to send my kids to play a sport at this department if this man is leading. Some people didn’t like the decision but this AD stood on business and clearly laid out why this is a bad deal on and off the field.

MAC (Ohio) / Big10 (UM) supporter here. This guy is really impressive, it sounds like the school is represented well. I hate realignment, it’s ignorant, & hurts everyone. Memphis though would fit in the B12, & if they leave the AAC, I’d like to see them there. The fact that WV is B12 seems ridiculous geographically.

PAC 12 or MWC needs to add Sam Houston and Texas State. They have an in state rivalry spanning over 90 years and will be playing this weekend at NRG Stadium (Houston Texans Stadium). Great time to watch the two teams play, and see what kind of product bringing both teams over would do

[@calebjohnson8718]

Pretty simple. He just laid it all out for the Pac what would get the yes👍🏼

[@butchcassidy8965]

Gonna regret it I promise

[@RandyHarder-w3g]

This is just a job. He is running it like a Wendy's. Let's make budget. No counteroffer to the PAC, which shows he is not serious. He likes the safety of easy wins and just over 500 being good. Don't rock the boat. Sad for the fans. University is not serious about sports.

If 2,schools were going to keep all the college football playoff money to themselves I would say no too. A little more of the percentage of college football money for the team or teams that get in I can see but not all or most of it!

Dr. Scott is phenomenal. Our future is brighter than it was before he arrived

[@ryansuter4424]

Based on this media conference I like Dr. Ed Scott! Transparent, clear and thoughtful! Seems like he is making good decisions for University of Memphis.

[@waltercole5024]

Lose your heart, but never leave your head !!! A very smart man ! Don't be surprised if he's not an AD in a power conference soon.

[@knightu1642]

Not? Do you mean he will be an AD in a power conference? I'm just curious.

[@aar1843]

Hahahahaha...😆🤣😂 LMAO 🤣😂 Very Informative!!!! 🏀🏈🏟️

[@robertwhite9335]

Good! Staying irrelevant is good! Staying in the bottom is where Memphis should be. PAC 12 is better off without you. Thug U. That's what you are.

[@ryansuter4424]

Well said!

[@nategz9875]

Good decision. The American is better than the new Pac.

[@lndrldcold1762]

You’re retarded.
