Between 8-12 million. If they were getting valuations higher than that I think Memphis would have made the jump last time.
Media deal is the one sticking point for me and UNLV not joining the PAC. An extra 3-5 million (potentially) a year would be nice..
I'll stand by if there is no BIG12 invite then this was mistake long term. If there is then it was the right call.
Not because of conference prestige or whatever. Just dollars and cents of it. You can only go to the booster well so many times. At some point you have to be able to fund projects, hire coaches etc on your own.
I 100% agree.
Pretending that the PAC wouldn't be an upgrade in revenue and competition vs remaining in the MW is just kidding ourselves.
We are aiming higher, and really going all in. I thought we were going all in before, but we just slapped our wedding ring and the deed to our house on the poker table.
Staying was about the free P4 pass, and to a lesser extent the immediate potential costs of a move. We need cash now for contracts. Moving would have made that a bit more difficult.
It probably won't work, but I like it. We have some success and momentum, and we are fully leveraging that while aiming high. I respect that.
