Wow. The head of Fed-ex is apparently willing to pay any BCS conference that takes Memphis $10 million a year.
If it works maybe we can get Charles Koch to buy Wichita State's way into a BCS conference:
"The money that used to go to the Orange Bowl is now set to go to a league that will invite Memphis," the source said. "Fred has made it clear he'll put that money back into the budget for the right league. He's driving this thing."
Memphis already plays basketball games inside FedExForum -- an 18,000-seat arena where FedEx owns naming rights through a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis in a BCS-league and thus on television more often would increase the value of those naming rights, which is something Smith recognizes, the source said before adding that such is only a small part of the motivating factor behind this effort.
I bet that Charles Koch is worth a lot more than that Fed-ex guy from Memphis. It would be nice seeing a filled Charles Koch arena on national TV all of the time. :wsu_posters:
