I know the downside for him has always been his passing game ability at Michigan... But man, if he can figure out how to make the passing game work within his capabilities hes going to be on some lists by the end of the season. We've seen some ok QBs in the MWC, Hes just built athletically different from any QB we've seen in the MWC lately. And given Mullens QB whisperer background along with our QB coaches background developing 1st round picks from athletes built like this there are so many opportunities to have him develop into a real threat outside the gimmicks he was used for at Michigan.

I thought he was very soft, opposite of what the previous regime advertised last offseason.

Get some guys that are tough and will get after the ball. Get some guys that are from Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta etc. Tired of these soft teams.

Heard that the staff was "too scared" to recruit those areas.

Incredible giving the talent in both SoCal and LV that these schools are so bad in baseball.

SDSU hasn’t made the regionals since 2018 when they had a nice run and made it 5 of 6 seasons from 2013-2018.

UNLv has made the regionals 1 time in the last 19 seasons and only had a winning record in 5 of those seasons.

It is inexcusable with all the Vegas talent they get so little of it.

So we agreed to stay because they’d pay us money, but even if they don’t, we stay anyway. Incredible deal.

Many knew this was a bad decision when it was signed somehow people convinced themselves otherwise. Terrible decision.

Figure you guys might like these offers better..

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.

There have been more and more reports that at least UNLV is not expected the full amounts, actually they might be expecting significantly reduced amount than what is promised.
They also seemed to get both of our new coaching contracts financed without counting on any GOR-bonus money, which I think is a smart thing if nothing else to CYA.

I can see the argument for the PAC, yes they signed it, but the agreement wasn't fair. They were in a desperate state without a lot of options. I can see them signing the agreement knowing that the terms were not fair, knowing that they would have a case to sue down the road. Either that or they truly thought they would merge.

I get it from their perspective, the PAC 2 was completely screwed over and didn't that much compensation for it. Did the PAC fight the MW much on that initial agreement, or quietly go along knowing they would sue later? They would probably have a better case if they have documentation on countering their agreement to a more reasonable amount. Either way it is a little weird.

Bottom line is our bottom line will not be as good as it looked when this was brought up months ago. And it looks like we signed a document that made it at least tough to get out of this conference, if it looks like the wrong move after this is settled. That is unfortunate.

It is very possible that Harper/UNLV just thought that being a big fish in a small pond was the better play for a Playoff invite and P4 invite down the road. There is an argument for that, easier path to get a near perfect record, at the expense of SOS. We wouldn't win any ties that way, but less risk for a loss.

Honestly this upcoming year could really dictate that down the road. If UNLV can get over the hump and finally beat Boise on the Road, and then potentially beat them a second time in a championship game, perception of the program would be huge. We would get more benefit of the doubt with "ties" in the upcoming years.

If we lose to them again this year, especially twice, we will not get the benefit down the road if it is between us and them, or really whichever PAC champion it may be.

SDSU (6-19, 2-4 MW) is coming off a 7-2 loss to UC Riverside at home on Tuesday, while UNLV (14-10, 2-4 MW) rallied to defeat Arizona State at Las Vegas Ballpark the same evening. Both teams are tied with Air Force for sixth place in the Mountain West standings.

This article is a week old and discusses the cases/mediation but, for @Loyal Coug1 it has Glorias picture.

I’m a Lakers fan, I’m not really an NBA fan, if the Lakers aren’t playing I’m not watching and if they are I still don’t watch much. I’m not a LeBron fan either. He definitely isn’t Kareem, Magic, Kobe or several others on my all time favorite Laker lists.

But with that said he has never had any off court issues, seems to be a stand up guy, good teammate, keeps himself in great shape, is playing as well now as 20 years ago yet everyone hates the dude.

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.

Former WSU RBs coach Robbie Rouse arrested on suspicion of DUI; police say he blew four times legal limit

PULLMAN – State troopers arrested former Washington State running backs coach Robbie Rouse earlier this month on suspicion of driving under the influence, a police report shows.

What I've read is that both cases are attempting mediation.

"Friday’s filing also noted that a separate case in Colorado involving Boise State, Colorado State and Utah State against the Mountain West over exit fees is also set to go to mediation. In that case, the three schools are challenging their Mountain West exit fees, which could range from $19 million to $38 million each."
