Per UT AD Dave Hart, in talks between UT and Memphis "men's basketball has been the primary focus." Future talks to "include other sports."

Honestly not surprised as Wes has said many times Tennessee holds the trump card with Football as Memphis can't give up that guaranteed money to not play Tennessee in Football. Basketball should not be that big worry for Memphis but I think it proves that Memphis is scared of Martin.

I wouldn't offer much more than a payday every four or five years for a six year (3 and 3) home and home basketball contract.

We lost some leverage- the Liberty Bowl was a quarter empty last time we played them.

It was more than a quarter. I don't remember that place being half full... if that when I was there.

Attendance is not where they make their money from us...really has very little influence.
