Northern Illinois out, North Dakota St. in?

Thats interesting that the Pac 2 is going to target Sac St before they secure enough teams to have a conference. I mean i get the commitment Sac St. is selling but I dont think theyll help them fast enough. So theyre going to have to add a team that they simply do not want.

There isn't a school left that they want that they can get.

AAC/Memphis seems all but dead.

The last MWC school they wanted said no.

Hawaii would have been a really smart play for them but they turned their noses up at them.

The next addition is likely a survival choice. Nothing more.

We aren't getting much. up to 14 mil up front, if we get all of the poaching fees, then 1.5-1.8 above the media value. If we add a couple of nothing schools, that could drop the base media value a good amount. If we have to pay to upgrade a lower level school that could easily drop the up front money we have. So adding schools that drop value, it cost UNLV millions

Yeah I just completely disagree. I think UNLV AD has done exactly the right thing for once and pretty sure they haven't put us in a position to "lose millions'

Agree, the only thing that made any sense was to create the best conference with the schools for both conferences or willing to join that weren’t part of either. Now there are two irrelevant conferences that together would be not great by any means but a lot less irrelevant than they both are.

Their TV markets may suck. But they'd be more competitive adds to the MWC than a SacSt or NMSU.

Even there NDSU might have more reach than NMSU.

Sacramento massive markets but nobody gives a damn like San Jose.

This has nothing to do with our AD, we are talking about the MW adding additional schools at this point.

If we add 2 FCS schools. That will cost us 10 mil to upgrade them. So that is 10 million dollars that the MW will not have to pay us our increased share. We are not guaranteed any specific amount from our agreement from staying, it is a percentage of the available funds of the fees we are getting from the PAC.

In additional to costing the conference 10 million extra dollars it will not be able to disperse. ( Our 24.5% willl be 2.45 million), our base media value will drop per team. Any FCS team will likely be a worse media value than our worse current MW team. So that will drop our per team payout, which could easily be 1-1.5 million per year.

Yes adding ND just waters down what we will end up getting. Adding them makes no sense I don't care how good they are.
