I believe you are correct but any schools that want to leave will have to declare they are leaving before July 1 of 24 to get the 17 million fee. I would guess the Pac 2 would have to have a tv deal...

That is a really nice win for sure!!

It takes 9 votes to reduce the fee. Unless there is a vote to change the fee it will remain 17 million with 2 or more years notice..34 million with 1 year's notice..To get around that they could...

I admit that one went over my head..But well played, I guess.

It takes 9 votes for the MW to reduce or eliminate the exit fees. It takes 9 votes to dissolve the MW altogether. It seems quite unlikely that schools who are not invited to the Pac 2 will vote for...

If and when the ACC implodes, they will refill with schools from the AAC. The AAC will need to refill. They will look to the Belt and CUSA. Those two conferences will need to refill.

This will...

I agree that most Bowl games are primarily only interesting to the fans of the schools participating. I might catch a bowl games with a conference mates in the mix but I certainly don't care about...

I have no idea how of if they restructured G5 but I do think it is likely the conferences would strive to be more regional.

It will be remarkably hard to tell the difference from what it is already. The haves already have most of the money, they already have most of the power. It has been this way for 100 years.

If the Pac2 schools wish to continue collecting basketball credits for 5 more years, Rose Bowl revenue, use of the Pac 12 network facilities, etc..It matters.

The thing is, I am unconvinced there...

It appears that the sources for these reports are only on the MW side so far. I am unconvinced any of this will happen..However, if there is a merger it will likely be under the Pac banner. I don't...

There has been no announcement that OSU and WSU are leaving the Pac. I am not even sure the scheduling alliance will happen. I think the Pac2 will ride it out for 2 years with a goal of buying...

We are Venom

Neither Wyoming or Boise are on my must have list.

Why were OSU and Wazzu not even considered for a power conference when absolute football stiffs like Colorado and Arizona received invitations?

What exactly would be the draw for schools to pay...

I am guessing Texas A&M boosters picked up that tab..

I don't know what will happen but if they do join up with the MW they will be flush with cash from this year's revenue distribution. Maybe 40 million bucks or so each. No MW school will have that...

Do you have any guesses how the Wazzu/OSU thing will play out? I have no idea at all..It seems like they are determined to stay the Pac 2 for a couple years. I am not sure how that will work.

I have no idea how the Pac 2/MW thing will play out. However, there are enough schools west of the Rockies to fill a viable conference. I don't think the relegation plan is the path going forward. ...

Nobody ever accuses me of being rational or logical either..The lack of logic and rationality is the best feature on message boards.

I would guess they would form a western flank of CUSA, though probably just for football.

It took at least 9 votes to set the very expensive exit fees. I have heard it was unanimous though I am...

You are banging on about something that won't happen. The Boise plan is DOA. The Pac 2 poaching teams is a nice dream but neither OSU or Wazzu is a draw. And the exit fees are steep.

The Pac2...

As I said before..Nobody is voting their own school to make less money. There is no chance AAC schools would pay an exit fee and maybe find themselves in a lower paying tier. To get to 24 schools...

If the original relegation plan presented by the Boise Deputy AD were to go into effect, it would mean 3 conferences of 8 schools each. It would be 24 school divided into three separate levels. You...

Actually the original idea put forth by the Boise deputy AD was for 3 separate conferences of 8 each on 3 separate tiers. There is no votes for that, there is no votes lined up yet to do any...
