And that is entertaining! So bored of the slow, high pick and roll dominated offenses in college ball.

Duke/Arizona was an excellent game both teams really pushed the ball. I have seen more scoring this tournament than in a long time. Unfortunately I don't see Duke losing, Arizona played their ass off and Duke still lead end to end.

MWC & PAC Mediation Discussion for Poaching & Exit Fees

So the original March 25 Pac court date has come and gone due to the mediation, and still here we are. And sorry for being lazy, but what is/was the next court date for the traitor lawsuit? And are these two separate suits combined for mediation purposes? Or is the traitor lawsuit even in mediation? The All-knowing Loyal Coug should be answering these questions not asking them..but again, lazy. Can the Pac be any more inept and stupid? And where's our 8th member and our media deal?

That said, need an RB coach? Ours is available. .35, speeding and swerving on what I know to be a huge speed trap known as HWY 195. Puking all over his jail cell. 3rd DUI. And HWY 95 comes from Spokane, at least 60 miles from "north of Colfax". Basically nothing between, so shitfaced and swerving for 50 miles on a curvy 2 lane highway in his black Cadillac. Another superior SDSU hire by our SDSU coach. And sorry Wyoming for taking your just hired RB coach from North Dakota.

PAC will get their 8th. Likely Texas State. I think SMC will also join. My guess is the PAC might add a 9th member as a FB only addition to help with scheduling. Who that would be I don't know. They could probably give NMSU 1 million per year as a FB only member to help with scheduling (8 conference games 4 OOC Vs 7 and 5 which is a logistic/scheduling nightmare.) NMSU would likely jump at it since they are getting pennies from CUSA and they could just bury their other sports in the WAC or something.

The PAC will land on their feet and get more than MWC, but I'll be pretty surprised if they get more than 10 million per school in media deal. Nice for CSU/FRESNO/SDSU/USU not great for Boise since a tiny bump from the sweetheart deal they got from MWC and it will be tighten the belts time for WSU/OSU since less than half of what they are accustomed to getting.

UNLV offer list!

Could really care less for year one, I just want a different attitude and approach. Tired of watching players get a bruise and take the rest of the season off. We need players that are hungry and want to win.

Pastner is the type of coach that will attract those players. Kruger has whiffed on so many guys that could have been absolute studs on the boards and made life real difficult for the opposing team on defense. Some of them are still playing in the tournament.

I definitely want to see that change as well, I just want to win games while we do it. Not expecting NCAA year one but expect significant improvement and not being out of the tournament before our first conference game.

We aren't getting top tier players in this environment. People need to accept that. The best we can hope for is taking a flyer on an injured 4-5 star player and hoping he recovers enough to be 80% the player he was pre-injury. Or getting incredibly lucky getting a raw player who comes to his own before leaving for greener pastures.

We're not getting Cooper Flagg but there is a lot of room between those type of players and guys who start with Florida International. Our NIL isn't zero we will get some pretty good players but top tier no.

Well if we build a team of guys like this it will look like this year best case. Not judging by the stars but by the Radfords and High Points on their lists. That said, I am not worried. We are 3 days in? We need bench players too. Plus who knows which of these are pre and post Pastner.

MWC & PAC Mediation Discussion for Poaching & Exit Fees

So it looks like UNLV is pretty much stuck in the MW even if the PAC win their lawsuits and we get significantly less than promised.

"What if the Mountain West — and therefore UNLV — doesn’t get all that it’s owed? It’s reasonable to expect any settlement would leave the league taking in less than $150 million. The Pac-12 still needs at least one more school, and UNLV’s name continues to float around as a possibility. San Diego State athletic director JD Wicker said recently the Pac-12’s new media rights deal could be completed by the end of March. Industry sources believe it could be closer to or after the Final Four in April, and further expansion by one or more schools could soon follow.

The Mountain West maintains that its new grant of rights is rock-solid, regardless of the financial specifics. The document says that if any provision becomes invalid or unenforceable, it doesn’t invalidate the agreement. That would seem to lock UNLV in. Harper’s public comments didn’t indicate a change of plans. So that’s the situation, for now."

Which to me was a mistake. Maybe we could still sue and get out. That is what the PAC did.

But with a P4 free pass, better competition, and potentially significantly better media payouts, and probably more manageable exit fees than advertised, why sign a document that locks you in without some sort of out if we get screwed with the promised money?

Can the Mountain West fend Pac-12 poaching efforts off for good? ‘We have a clear future’

At this point who knows. I look at the PAC case and think they have to convince a judge the poaching fees are excessive and the agreement was signed under duress.

1- Duress..Sure I guess they could but if I'm the MWC lawyers I'm pointing to the fact that were able to cobble a schedule together for this upcoming season in less time so we're they really under duress?

2- Poaching fees were excessive. Maybe ? But you signed the contract. And you went ahead and piached anyway so they appear not to have been excessive enough. So either you didn't view them as excessive or you signed the contract in bad faith intending to challenge them in court from the start.

Not saying the MWC case doesn't have some holes as well but PAC case doesn't feel any stronger.

I don't think either side wants this to see arbitration or a court room.

Pastner is going to deliver a good class when compared to the past 10 years. Kruger honestly had a couple decent portal classes, but they lacked balance. I feel like we are downplaying what the end result will be here in terms of recruiting with Pastner. Our NIL budget isn't so tiny as to prevent us from getting high rated guys. It's top of the MW last I heard. Pastner is going to get talent here, and quickly.
