you give them an OFFER THEY CANT REFUSE.

(Well, outside cusa who basically doesn't have anything)
Would have to think that payout statement was conditional on who they wanted to add.
If MWC adds Washington and Oregon, no way they wouldn't ante up for that. It would pay for itself with viewers.
NMSU and UTEP would be different of course.
NDSU is probably somewhere between those two extremes in media value.
It looks like the Pac 10 is going to stick together for awhile but if any of them became available to the MW, the conference would add them even if it meant less dough in the short run.
I do think the MW was looking to possibly add SMU, UTSA and Rice but the providers didn't want to play ball.
The AAC jumped in and grabbed a lot of schools so that is that.

Stop making shit up and come up with a real plan. Fantasy land doesn't work in real world sports.

Remember who you are talking to.

Yeah....all the fantasy land talk is getting old. Still haven't seen a real reason why MWC would want NDSU right now. There's nothing in it for them at this point.

Legit win over a P5 team is not the same as a ranked win, just saying, we may need two ranked wins

Ok, that makes sense. Those new schools get a reduced payout in the AAC also, $2m each instead of $7m
What the media will pay normally depends on how they assess the value.
I can understand MWC schools not wanting to take a paycut.
AAC went with two tiers instead and the legacy teams didn't take a hit.

Doesn't Boise have a deal where they get to keep their own media revenue for home games?
Pretty sure that's a point of contention in the MWC, and not something they would want again.
Edit: meant to respond to Chapo's proposal. The MWC history makes it unlikely they would go for that.

Most are operating off the assumption that Boise and SDSU leave the MW and the MW is then looking to backfill. Neither are obviously set in stone by any means. No one here thinks we’ll wake up tomorrow with an offer from the MW without something else happening first.
Except one guy who keeps screaming at the clouds for Larsen to send hookers to Craig Thompson’s office as if that would help lol

Boise receives extra pay out of the conference..The tv providers don't pay it..The members do. It works out around 1.5 million per year. It was their demand to return to the MW from the Big East. It was a stupid deal then and it is a stupid deal now..While I don't think Boise is leaving, I don't think many in the conference would mind all that much if they did. They are not collegial partners. They whine, they make ridiculous demands and the they threaten to sue over and over.
If they were the program they were 8 or 9 years ago that would be okay..They aren't that any more..
Hawaii, as football only, gets a partial share of the tv deal and gets to keep the revenue from their Hawaii providers.
I do think San Diego State could leave. I would be sad to see them go but they would also get a hat tip from me if they got a P5 slot.
