…If Rudd and the Memphis powers-that-be succeed, it will be one of the most transformative moments in school history.

By the way: One last Tweet I would post in my social media Big 12 presentation, if I were Rudd, would go like this.

Rudd has always tweeted very uplifting things about the city of Memphis and The University of Memphis.

The timing of all of these things coming out is certainly interesting....generally Rudd doesn't put anything "out there" that he's not already pretty confident about (I'm still not convinced the Cal dinner thing wasn't done on purpose on his part).

They have this Ca;lkins quote, from this morning, pinned over at the 92.9 twitter site 04-rock >>

"If the Big 12 expands, do I believe that Memphis will get 1 of the 2 invitations? Yes I do." ~@geoff_calkins

Wonder how much Bill Laurie is also behind this Memphis / Big 12 push?

This seems more like an outside looking in move than a confident about our position move.

Just seems like a job applicant trying to put their best foot forward. I can respect that.

Seems kinda like that to me, too. BUT... There are a lot of people (with some knowledge) that are surprisingly confident about this.

You have to sell the fans around the league as well. Not many of them follow us, nothing wrong with giving them a few tidbits of positive Memphis info.

UCONN and Cincy have put out something similar in the last few weeks.

This was sent to Texas in December. Why now?

I'm guessing the President isn't getting good vibes. If he were, he'd keep his mouth shut.

Like we did before we got into the Big East.

Looks like good marketing to a national audience so they don't freak out when/if Memphis is offered to join the B12.

He didnt mention anything about Boise St. I'm floored.

Different President then, too. Rudd is all over social media, Shirley never was, so I wouldn't necessarily compare the two reactions.

I may have missed it, but I didnt see Servicemaster included in corporations. I dont mean to include it to inclhude any and all hqs, but because it operates bational brands that decisionmakers probably have heard of, and are headquartered here. Possibly this rationale would also extend to EdR.
