We signed a 10 year $21.9M deal in 2020.

CUSA signed a deal in 2018 that gives around $400k per school.

One of those numbers is significantly larger than the other. CUSA's deal runs out soon and they haven't announced the new one yet. It'll probably be a lot worse.

That’s an NDSU deal not an MVFC/summit deal and that’s negotiable to stay if we go CUSA and would remain if we’re independent.

I'd be very surprised if CUSA's contract doesn't say all new members must join their media deal.

I know a lawyer bro. We can come to the table with our own contract. That's how we roll. It's called swagger eh.

Sure. Again, I’m not sold or advocating for CUSA, I just don’t get the arrogance when our current situation isn’t any better.

You must not watch much football.

They have no fans and FIU damn near lost to Bryant, a scrub team even in FCS. Charlotte lost to W&M, and is leaving to move up to AAC.

They have basically two “ok” teams left, WKU and MTSU, and both of them want to leave.

I don’t understand the fixation on this crap conference, we are much more likely to get an invite to MAC or MWC anyhow.

CUSA and the MAC would be a step down. We would instantly have the best fan base in either league. MWC is the only conference that is worthy of NDSU

Fear mongering lol

Bigger question do we still get to keep our own media contract that is much larger or do we have to give that up and take a 400k split instead?

You’re so right. That’s wildly different than how it is in the MVFC.

Lol
