 Football is the driver behind any and all conference realignment. 

Always has been and always will be. 

But, obviously, its effects aren't limited to football. So, as the American Athletic Conference appears set to lose Houston, Cincinnati and UCF to the Big 12, where does that leave the league from a basketball perspective? 

On this week's episode of the Memphis Basketball Podcast, Tiger basketball beat writer Jason Munz and Commercial Appeal columnist Mark Giannotto dissect the topic, discuss which programs the AAC might want to recruit for its own expansion and get into which programs would help the league's basketball membership most. 

Munz and Giannotto also break down the Tigers' 2021-22 non-conference schedule.
