Not saying we can't do it, but don't think for a second we'd suddenly be swimming in more cash than we know what to do with.
Will Entz get paid $1.2M more the first year we join the Mountain West? How is JMU handling Cignetti's contract? How did GSU, Appy, Coastal, etc. handle their coaches' contracts? Did their ADs instantly make $500k more each year? Absolutely not. There is a ramp up period. Same thing with scholarships.
How are future hypothetical media deals and OOC FBS games already accounted for? You're saying they're already in our budget numbers? I wonder how we pulled that one off?
I have literally said that I don't think we'd be "swimming in more cash than we know what to do with". There are concerns and things we'd need to figure out. That said there is no reason to think that we couldn't.
Mountain West, hope for the best.
