Memphis football is slightly below average all-time, but not a complete dumpster fire like UConn's has been, and is in a much better place for recruiting. Basketball they're above average historically.

UConn brings stellar basketball teams, but they neglected their football team to the point they re-joined the Big East and their football team is independent as a result. Combine that with where they're located and there isn't a lot of upside financially.

Would basically be a counterpunch to Rutgers in the B1G, but with two dominant basketball teams.

The problem is the Big 12 cannot add a group of five school without cutting the payout. No Big 12 Presidents/Administrators is going to agree to that.
