I understand that the Pac makes sense in the short term. With how slimy their leadership is, I can’t say its a viable thing to be a part of year 3. I would equate the pac to dirty politician, or a sleazy used car salesman. Nothing about this feels right.

The poaching fee is NOT "on top of that." Two separate contracts. The Temu7 think that's a valid argument. I assure you it is not.

The reason why we should expect it all is the Pac2+ was going to pay it for the schools. If that "rumor" is not true then I agree with your point. If that "rumor" is not true but the schools were told by the Pac2+ it was true....this will be must see TV

Is this another credible report from you Meister?

Ok, last post for a while, I have things to do.

Here's the needed scenario:

• UNLV accepts the Pac offer
• Pac-2 President's immediately fire Teresa, acknowledge that mistakes were made, and they were all Teresa's fault
• President's then go to the MW, say their mea culpa's, and say look let's go back to the full reverse merger. We will give you all a modest $ sweetener just for fun. Gloria, you are our new Commissioner, the PacWest-14 offices will move to Colorado Springs
• With Hawaii back in tow, we get going on our corporate sponsorship deal. Out springs the shiny new Alaska/Hawaiian Air PacWest-14. Logo planes for all members

Simple dimple. You are all welcome. Sincerely, the Allmighty, All-knowing, and All-Seeing Loyal One. As I am referred to by - well let's see - ME!

But in nearly every other exit fee situation, those fees have been negotiated down.

The PAC was due 100 mil, they got 50 plus a 15 mil bonus because they got totally screwed, when some of the CUSA went to the AAC it was negotated down to about 60%.

I don't think we can expect the full 85 million

Depends. There is still the $65m from the 5 exiting schools’ exit fees.

I forgot about USU, so the MW would likely need a third team to get to 10. Which would likely mean a FBS call up or Texas State or Sam Houston state or something.

Again Expect the exit fees to be about half. So 9 mil for 5 teams is 45 milly. So a good round number if the PAC lawsuit fails is 100 mil for the MW if no one else leaves.

Some of that would be used to bring new teams in. But hopefully that won't be too expensive.

How much of that is distributed to the teams? Really hard to say. The league will likely hold on to most to protect them from the next raiding. I can see them sharing the poaching fee

What I am saying is that we shouldn't count on UNLV netting a 6th or 7th of 140 million which would be 23 mil. It will likely not be a 6th of 100 mil either.

So yes, staying will get us some money. But it won't be 30. If we sign we are guaranteed the 10, but beyond that?

But it does tie up the money that Gloria is promising UNLV and AFA until it is settled though right?

I don't know the inner workings of these conferences. Does the commissioner of each conference have full control over the decisions on when and how much to release of this money? What's the point of having a boat load of money sitting in the conference war chest if the schools in the conference aren't able to benefit from it?

That would actually be a reason for the remaining MWC members to vote to dissolve the conference. Let the dust settle on the 5 schools leaving (or 6 if another commits to the PAC), then agree that in 2 years, you vote to dissolve and distribute all the money.
