Fed-Ex is willing to become a sponsor for the Big 12 if Memphis is allowed in.

Last round of expansion was all about TV dollars. Lots of people think Cable TV will become a shell of what it is today in the near future.

With some of the smaller schools or schools in low population states is this how they buy in to Power Conferences?

Will Alumni and Big Business take the place of cable TV?

Walmart-Arkansas
Humana, Cigna, or Phillips 66- A&M

Even without all of that. Memphis makes the most sense for the big 12 of the teams they could realistically get, then Cincinnati.

BYU for football only would also be an option.

The Memphis/Fed-Ex thing to the B12 has been pushed for years. Don't know that the B12 cares anymore now than they did year prior but losing Fuente hurt that cause, imo.

Fortune 500?

Within 25 minutes of campus, Arkansas has Walmart, JB Hunt and Tyson.

There are 4 others in the state as well.

Walmart is the biggest company on the planet. Based on revenue, it is roughly equivalent to 10 FedExes.
