yeah. Although the post above you says maybe we did sign a GOR, but either way, if we have the freedom to leave for a P4 conference, given the opportunity, along with the extra funds, that sounds like a win to me.
HUGE NEWS!
- Thread starter WYNN or Dye
- Start date
Is there another choice? You could do a Rod and quit life.
It crossed my mind..🙂
In all seriousness though the fact UNLV didn't agree to grant of rights makes me think (hope) that maybe the BIG12 thing is possible. Still not convinced it is, but feels like maybe there was some headway in talks.
No motion of understanding.
That if a P4 opportunity arises UNLV is free to leave.
X conversations. If we can leave without penalty there is not really a GOR. It's a MOU so they can get a new media deal.. the above post is from Air Force, not UNLV and our deals are not the same. Harper positioned it perfectly for the Big 12.
According to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by President Whitfield, the Mountain West will pay an estimated lump sum of $10-to-14 million to UNLV in 2025, and also pay UNLV approximately $1.5-to-1.8 million annually over a six-year period beginning in July 2026. The new payments are on top of the current revenue streams from existing contracts and media assets. The current media deal expires in June 2026 and negotiations for a new media deal will begin in the near future. The university will also have the flexibility to explore future membership in an autonomous “Power Four” conference without penalty should the opportunity become available.
Very good deal if true. Especially the P4 move without penalty
Exactly. Not sure we'll get that offer, but it makes things much easier if we're in the conversation
