Sure:

"Story about the shuffleboard game is a fish tale, designed to make the story more interesting. He and the Memphis AD certainly played Shuffleboard over some drinks, and he certainly jokingly put that series up as the stakes, but the reality was the series was going to come back either way."

"When the AAC was first created, it appeared that there was an edict from the commisioner to play as many P5 teams at home as possible, because several schools initially rejected scheduling approaches, however they have since called back in the last couple years, as they began to see the difficulty in finding P5 teams willing to come to their place, and they began to seek games they had a better chance at winning"

"We would rather play Memphis for a home and home than several P5 schools, believing the Tigers provide a more interesting series for our fan base, and better recruiting exposure." Confirmed that we did indeed recently turn down a home and home with a PAC 12 school because the school was in an area that we did not recruit.

"We will continue to request large sums for guarantee games, and continue to reject any offers that do not provide that sum."

"Budget will vary from year to year thanks to the new faciltiies we are working on, and how much they bring in, but the plan is to officially hit 30 million shortly, and from there work on increasing the budget to 40 or 50 Million dollars."

"Apparel contract with Adidas expires next February, and we are currently in talks with several major companies including Adidas on a new deal. Our License and royalty numbers with Apparel has gone significantly up in the last few years, and has peaked the interest of a couple new providers. We will make a decision that is the best for the overall growth of the University. Expect that to come in a couple months."

"The New hotel and convention center is awesome. He's been around a lot of college campuses recently, and the most established ones almost all have hotels. This provides fans with an opportunity to visit Jonesboro and the campus, and have an easy place to stay within walking distance. We appreciate the city of Jonesboro despite not providing a Grant for the project, but we like this project and we're going to do it anyway"

"Parking at football games will be at a premium with the construction, as several lots will have to be moved. Construction will begin this Summer, so the new changes will be in effect for next football season."

Can't imagine turning down a Pac-12 for a home and home. Maybe if it is Colorado. Tell Mohajir to tell that Pac-12 to call Tom Kleinlein please.

Glancing at pac-12 schedules (both past and future) I don't think it's Colorado my guesstimation is Wazzu (they have a future home and home with Central Michigan and played a home & home with SMU a few seasons back)

Some of the lower tier PAC 12 schools provide little name value to fans in this area, and are miles away from where we recruit.

Georgia Southern could take that series in a heart beat because it would be your first P5 home game. We have several P5 home games, so it's not a new experience to fans.

It could have been Utah. To. After scheduling a home and home with Utah St, probably not much interest on our part to going to Utah again so soon.

Utah is a Top 25 team fairly often, I doubt we'd turn that down. A Washington State would have little chance at a Top 25 spot.

If it was a low level PAC 12 team I can kind of see turning them down for the home and home because overall we'd do better financially to play a school like USC for the big money instead. But I have to say...I would never turn down a home and home with a P-5 no matter what our recruiting foot print is.

Washington State was in the Top 25 at points last season.
