Some of the most pressing matters Ed Scott has had to deal with in his early days as the Memphis Tigers’ athletic director have been apparent and public:
Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium renovation and NIL fundraising, basketball coach Penny Hardaway’s decision to overhaul his staff two months before the 2024-25 season starts and the university declining an invitation from the new-look Pac-12 and, at least for now, remain in the American Athletic Conference.
Not everything is so obvious.
