Why did Memphis reject Pac-12 and stay in AAC? It came down to a bad deal, AD Ed Scott says
Scott spoke to the media toward the end of a whirlwind week. On Monday, the athletic department released a statement saying Memphis was committed to the AAC after the Pac-12 had offered it a spot in a rebuilt version of the conference. Memphis chose to stay in the AAC alongside Tulane, UTSA and South Florida, which had also been Pac-12 targets.
