Sicatoka is trying to defend the undefendable.

Where'd I say 'comparable'?

What I did say was: Are UND student fees higher? Yes.

My best friend graduated from UND in 2014. If I remember right, if they got season tickets they ended up paying like $5/game back then. I think they got lower bowl tickets one night, then upper bowl the next. If the demand is there, I don't have a real problem with that. UND had 23 exhibition/regular season home games this year. For $166, that works out to like $7/game.

The*Mountain*West*signed a six-year, $270 million national TV deal last time around.

Mountain West schools get $2.5 mil per team for Big Dance Money.

NDSU instantly adds $6-7 million joining day 1.

I am not sure about your numbers there.. CBS and Fox pay 45 million a year to the MW which is then distributed to the schools. The conference takes some to fund operations, Boise gets a larger share and Hawaii gets a smaller cut. There are 3rd tier tv rights available for games not picked up by CBS or Fox.

The basketball credits go to the conference who splits them evenly to the 11 basketball schools but the payout is over a 6 year period. That does tend to work out to 2.5 million total in a 1 bid league. The MW usually gets 2 in.

All of this doesn't add up to your 6-7 million per team per year assertion. The amount is less than you think..It is also no where near enough. Like all G5 conferences budgets are tight..

Yep, P5 is where the real money is. MWC though is probably one of the best in terms of G5 conference financials.

CUSA recently filed to seal court records regarding their financial settlement with the departing schools, on the basis it could irreparably harm them, and cause their new members not to join. It's rumored cusa financials are so bad member schools are going to have to pay in each year to keep the conference alive and pay debts, rather than receiving any payout. They have bupkiss for a television deal.

FBS is not an automatic financial win, and most bowl payouts are deceptive too, in terms of what the school takes home after expenses.

The MWC basketball payout is about 200,000/school. So you know, you’re only off by a factor of 10.
