Memphis: Tigers Won’t Leave C-USA Anytime Soon



Tigers Won’t Leave C-USA Anytime Soon: Memphis Athletic Director R.C. Johnson dismissed a radio report that said the Tigers were talking to the Big East about switching conferences. Johnson denied any meetings with Big East officials. The Big East also said it is not interested in adding Memphis because it has 16 teams for basketball. Memphis is the elite member of the Conference USA and does not yet have any conference opponents who can consistently compete with the Tigers’ recruiting prowess. [5/17/08]
