PAC 8 let's say Memphis Tulane. Might get double what current MWC deal is. I can't see it being much more than that.

Because they would legally have to pay them. There's a contract in place. The PAC would have to pay that.

Not to mention they don't want all of the MWC.

They just made the first few chops of the tree. Now waiting for gravity to do the rest.

Have you seen the AAC? If they are getting 7, the new PAC can definitely get at least 10.
Wazzu and Osu were left our for a reason,but they are still worth something. Remember the PaC turned down 30 mil a year before they broke up. The PAC is worth something if they are the floor of 30 mil.
I can see 10-15 per school. I think I saw an article that a new PAC of the same 6 plus UNLV and AFA would get 15 mil a while back. But ita toguh to know how accurate this dtuff can be.
I think the MW if it stayed together could maybe get 7 like the AAC for a new Contract, and the traitorous 4 jumped for a reason.
As for an AAC and MW merger. I don't see it. Lots of bloat and the only reason to do that if to be the best G5 and it wouldn't be with the new PAC. Especially since they likely take the 2 best of what is left.

You could be 100% correct. But Is CW going as high as 7 million when current MWC deal is only around 3 ? Is there that much more value in this conference and those teams?

I don't know.

I, agree with you the Mountain West Conference is dying and want no part of it.
My, first choice is the Pac 6.
My, second choice is the Big 12.
My, third choice is the AAC.
And, yes I like women's sports. The only UNLV women's sports I care for is the Lady Rebels, volleyball and softball. In, that order.

We've imploded. What teams are the MWC going to bring in to replace what we lost. The MWC is over. Its dead. We need to get the AAC to go with an East West mindset. If the other MWC schools want to stay then we still depart in 2026 and we take our share of PAC money with us.

So long as ACCdoesn't completely implode, I agree.

I know you like women's sports right. With the four MWC schools headed to the PAC we will be down to 5 softball teams in the conference. They may be forced to go to the WAC or some other fringe West conference. I haven't looked at the other sports but even in Women's basketball we will be down to 7 teams. Hell of a conference tournament with 7 teams.

No, we need to part ways with the MWC to protect all of our sports. If it costs us more at least we keep them together. The PAC payout to the MWC will help with travel when we shut down the MWC in 2026.

Stanford and Cal care about academic's, not logistics. Stanford has all the money in the world and Cal gets money from UCLA now. They’ll stay in ACC.

I think getting the AAC to absorb the remaining MWC schools would make a beautiful East West conference. We give our notice for 2026, keep the PAC money, and kiss the MWC goodbye as we vote to shut her down. PAC may be interested in the future but, they certainly are not interested today. We have to take care of ourselves today. We need make a move sooner rather than later with the MWC folding and then we head to the AAC. It will be a large conference that can absorb some future defections and we stand a good chance of making better money than what we are going to beg for in our future media rights as the MWC burns down around us.

I wish it were that easy. UNLV and AF may be able to get out and hope for an invite to the AAC but, the others have no place else to go. Those others won't vote for a dissolution. We are going to end up paying for our own exit fee is what I'm afraid of. I'm also afraid we will hear our school President say we don't have the money.

I want us to go to the best we can get. But I can't stomach the thought that we would have to pay $ 17 million to go where SDSU went for free.
