I doubt that's the case. Honestly we've had interviews where Harper discusses that they've been exploring alignment opportunities. While some of are anxiously and nervously thinking that the old UNLV is still out there waiting to screw us fans over, I think the new administration understands the landscape and is doing their due diligence to get us where we need to be. From facilities, to programs they're trying to elevate us. The conversations need to be tight lipped because the last thing you want is a leak about your discussions with say Big 12 blowing up because some sports desk guy disagrees with adding UNLV based on the box score (attendance, past performance, etc..)

Totally agree! I think a lot of people on Rivals are looking at UNLV like they have been for the past 3-4 decades. UNLV is in the top 25 in football, and that would have never happened under any of the past regimes. I have no doubt UNLV will come out of this re-alignment in a good position. UNLV can top things off by continuing to win and pushing any way they can to get more people to games at Allegiant. The current 25 hours to purchase tickets for $25 is one way to get new fans to come to the game, rising through the ranks is another, and winning is the final piece to the puzzle!

IF REMAINING MWC TEAMS WERE SMART

We agree. So assuming the Pac-2 writes that check, when does it get distributed? As far as exit fees go, I am assumning that they will be payable on 6/30/26. How can you be charged for something you haven't done yet? Although I guess I could argue the same about the poaching fee.

OK, so we need a secret handshake deal to take UNLV and AF or whoever. To be announced once you get some of that poaching money. :)

I think it would be up to the Presidents to tell Gloria when to make that payment to the 8 schools.

As for the exit fees I don't have access to any MWC bylaws or whatever they might be called so I don't know when exit fees get distributed.

Yeah, that name poaching is just a name started on one of these forums. But, yes the PAC owes us that $43 million within 30 days.

So wait for that money to be distributed. Then take that money and apply to your exit fee to leave MWC.

🤣

It's like the Beavis and Butthead episode where they each are given a box of candy bars to sell for school money drive. They sit down and start handing each other the same dollar back and forth buying each other's candy bars with the same dollar until they eat it all.

So if we wait 30 days from Saturday, the 8 left get a cool roughly 5 million in cash guaranteed... then conference dissolves and everyone else goes their own ways... maybe the ones left behind get kicked a negotiated portion of a buyout as payout for NCAA tournament etc to keep them from real litigation...

We are going to be in the money. If the four schools announced the same day then yes from that announcement date they have 30 days to pay. We just need the Presidents to tell Gloria to distribute that money to the 8 of us.

I found a link on your forum to a pdf of the agreement. You should be able to go back and find it. I don't remember which post it was in.

Per my interpretation of the agreement the PAC will have to pay the withdrawal fees at this point regardless if the MWC dissolves. The wording is very specific. Had the MWC dissolved prior to the 4 schools accepting then there would have been no withdrawal fees. But, the MWC did not dissolve prior to the MWC schools accepting the invitation to the PAC therefore you are obligated to pay those withdrawal fees.

Here is the real kicker which I hadn't read before. You've got 30 days to pay the withdrawal fee.

"Any Withdrawal Fee which becomes payable by the Pac-12
pursuant to clause (A) of Section 7.01 shall be due and payable to MWC in full in accordance with
the terms of Section 2.03 no later than 30 days following the date each such Accepting MWC
Member Institution accepts, or announces that it will accept, such offer."

This from a Reno beat writer. Fair amount of conjecture here. Not sure if it answers your question or not.





There's also the financial aspect. The Pac-12 is on the hook for $43 million in poaching fees paid to the MW for taking four schools while those departments owe roughly $18 million each in exit fees to the MW, which the Pac-12 could help pay a part or all of. The Pac-12 would owe the MW an additional $12 million to add one more school from that conference and $22.5 million to add two. That's before the $18 million each in exit fees. If the Pac-12 picks up the tab on the exit fees, that'd be an additional $58.5 million on top of the $115 million for the first four schools. That price tag could deter the Pac-12 from taking both UNLV and Nevada.

Pac-12 insider John Canzano reported over the weekend the conference prefers to settle on ninemembers for scheduling purposes. The initial reporting has the Pac-12 now looking to the American Athletic Conference to fill out the rest of its conference with Tulane, Memphis and Texas-San Antonio among the top candidates. While the rebuilt Pac-12 getting an automatic bid into the College Football Playoff isn't going to happen, poaching the top of the MW and AAC would pave a much easier path into the CFP on an annual basis, so the Pac-12 would be incentivized to inflict some damage on the AAC with it final additions rather than continue to take from the MW.

Canzano reported the last additions to the Pac-12 are expected to happen by the end of the calendar year with the three military schools (Air Force, Army and Navy) a potential option for the Pac-12 to maximize its media-rights contract, adding, "If UNLV and Air Force don’t land in the Pac-12, I’ll bet the American Athletic Conference would take them both. I’m told there has already been contact between those sides."
