I was referring to the pac. There is no way the mw will come close unless some drastic things happen.
ABOUT THAT MONEY...
- Thread starter Bullmastiff 1
- Start date
The PAC will easily get above the 6 mil. I think it will be 8. It was 12 with the AAC teams.
Again based off the current MW contract it will be better. Because that is what it is now. Cutting out the dead weight will raise the per team.
This is why they decided to break away and form their own thing. Becuase they can do much better on their own without the MW fluff.
and at this point any team the add will come in at most likely a lesser % payout. So each schools per $ payout will be higher, but is it really worth all the hassle they went through to do that? I mean I get it but also this is just a dumb exercise in ego management and perceived value..
Is that 12 with the AAC teams a fact? Or just what the PAC was throwing around? I'd guess that's what they sold the MWC4 original group on. What does it do to the new PAC if they add a team like Sac State as their 8th member?
Pretty sure when this whole plan was put in place Texas State, Utep, NMSU, SAC STATE weren't on anybody's bingo cards.
Imagine the PAC meetings might be getting a little snippy about now.

I don’t think it’ll be easy. Osu and wsu numbers are over valued and are high because of who they played previously. Boise and Fresno have been good programs, Boise having a good following in their region. Sdsu and Utah state are not what they were before. But any valuation would be based on how they’re doing now, and not potential.
It was reported by a few different outlets even from the Gonzaga insiders.
It makes sense, I don't think it is that far fetched. I think people in general underestimate how much some of our teams drag down our payouts. Also people underestimate the PAC-2's value.
It is not a fact. But while it is true the PAC does not have a contract, they have been very open that they are making these moves under the direction of their TV partners. I think they know exactly which each school brings to the table and probably have a real time number on what payouts will be. They aren't making up numbers and hope to get it, they are using numbers from the TV partners themselves.
It is a combination.
Sure they cannot use the hisotrical data too much, but they have numbers from non conference games and against FCS schools etc. They have a good idea.
Potential is trickier. It plays a role, but I think they want to go with more vetted data over futures. UNLV has very high potential, but it isn't there yet. SJSU has very low potential, because people don't care when they are good.
So far not enough people care now that we are good, which also sucks. I hope it improves.
Utah state dropped the value, but again they are taking a middle tier MW school/media value. It won't drop that much.

There's truth to this...
One advantage the PAC has is they have all of the audio visual production stuff left over from the original PAC. That cuts into costs of their media deal and any new partners they may have. THE CW or whatever streaming outlet they might get tied with won't need to buy new equipment etc for broadcasts.
I digress.😀
I'm sure they had contingency plans in place.
PLAN A, B, C, D etc.
Well plan A (Memphis and Co) fell through.
Plan B they got half of what they wanted (USU). I truly believe they thought UNLV would cave and take whatever. (We've got enough threads dedicated to what UNLV should or shouldn't have done so not opening that can of worms)
I'm pretty sure they never envisioned it getting to plan C..
I have no doubt they’ll be valued more than the MW. Unless Gloria is successful in adding all of NIU, Toledo, NMSU, Texas State, Gonzaga, St Mary’s and GCU.
But there isn’t a prayer for the Pac getting to the $12.5m potential that they’re trying to sell to other schools. Not in its current form. I would be surprised if they made it to 10m. I personally think 6m I think is too high, but that wouldn’t surprise if it ended up there. I have no inside knowledge, other than knowing CBS sports won’t take them.
Oh..
Was there another swing and a miss I didn't see?
I've been distracted.
I went down a hilarious rabbit hole of UTEP and NMSU twitter.
UTEP fans..I swear to God I'll cancel my season tix if we get left behind again.
My personal favorite was..
If we can't get invited to this 'jank ass' version of the MWC we should just shut the athletic department down..There was some other colorful language and tweet has since been deleted. But 'jank ass' caused me to chuckle..
NMSU fans are mostly blaming UNM..🤣
No, but I have a feeling the teams we're going after are their plan C.
Jank-Ass is back in my vocab. Janky Ass was my go to in HS.
No one thinks they are getting 12 or 12.5 now. And sure, I'm guessing that is what was sold to the traitorous 4.
But they used "swing for the fences" from the beginning. I'm sure they knew that they would have a good chance at missing with their top targets. I am also sure the traitorous 4 knew this too.
I also don't think that they ever thought we would say no.
But if we said yes and they stopped there for now at least. I think we would be looking at 8 mil per team minimum, maybe even 9 or 10.
So yes they are on plan D and not sure where to go. Didn't think they had a bidding war with the MW either. So yes I am sure they are a bit flustered right now.
The MW mission now should be to take in almost everyone they have interest in. Force them to pull in Montana. Their egos won’t be able to take it.
I think Plan D is a kool-aid party at Jim Jones III's house.
That is referred to as plan "K"
Those left with USC & UCLA. Sorry
that wasn't actually baby oil
Let's say that they earn $3M more per school than they would have in the MWC. They paid about $18M to leave. They will break even in 6 years (at 0% interest) in 6 years.
Even to someone like @reagan21 this isn't good math.
