There is a high degree of surface-level significance to University of Memphis athletics' plan to fully fund revenue sharing in 2026-27. 

There are also what feels like a proverbial metric ton of layers to the news that are at least equally significant. Some might argue even more significant. 

On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan recap the announcement Memphis athletic director made regarding revenue sharing, explain the difference between revenue sharing and NIL payments, and unpack the implications associated with the announcement. 

Also, Munz and Dylan field questions from listeners. Among the topics discussed are whether basketball coach Penny Hardaway will fill his final roster spot and the outlook for Tiger football.

The multi-layered significance of Memphis' revenue sharing position and Penny Hardaway's next roster move

The start of Memphis basketball's 2026-27 season is still more than five months away.

But coach Penny Hardaway already has everything he needs to start making lineup decisions and rotation choices. 

Hardaway likely won't officially settle on anything for a long while. After all, summer workouts don't even begin for another two weeks. But, on this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan dig into all the pieces the Tigers have added over the past six weeks.

Munz and Dylan discuss, in-depth, some of the more prominent newcomers (including Tylik Weeks and Jayden Reid), then forecast who is most likely to be Memphis' five starters for the season opener against Iowa State on Nov. 2, and which players figure to be first off the bench.
