They're so Fd... how do you absolutely need a full member but continue to try and undersell those teams you want to join you...
Because they don't really want them.
Let's say the following X rumors are true.
PAC media deal came in at 75 mil. For 9 members at a full share (Gonzaga plus whoever 8th football school is) that works out to an AAV of 8.33 million per school.
Do you think Boise wants to get paid the same as Texas State?
A half share of that would be around 4.5 million.
On paper that looks solid for Texas State except their travel costs would eat up a bunch of the added money they would be making
So they would be barely breaking even on a half share and be at a competitive disadvantage financially and with travel.
If that 75 million is correct, even adding some solid Eastern time zone teams still wouldn't that that number high enough to offset travel costs.
I do believe MWC schools may still be on the table despite the GOR.
8 million per year is better than the 4 mil being floated for the MWC.
It comes down to does a school want to or can it afford the exit fees. And how much would the PAC be willing to cover.
