New MWC Possibility:

I was thinking the same thing actually. However, a while back (I think it was a guy from Albuquerque), stated that the new deal with the MWC would ensure a payout of at least $3.5M per team per year (even if that amount would need to be subsidized by league funds). If that is indeed the case, it was an obvious no brainer for UTEP to jump at the chance. I'll try to dig up that article.

You really think MW losses its best teams, replaces them with UTEP and the payout will be the same? IMO maybe 2/3 million.

It didn’t take long to search google and see that everyone not named Boise State was only getting 3.5. I don’t even think we get that much.

It’s already been said that if they keep the number low it’ll be a bigger piece of a smaller pie. It’ll be at least 4 million per, Bank on it!

It’s not that far fetched in today’s climate to believe the payout will be the same or better. Sports and news are the only two things that are propping up cable/satellite/streaming television. TNT just signed a 3 on 3 women’s basketball league and will be airing it on Mondays and Fridays and then on TruTV on Saturdays.

If that thing, which doesn’t have Caitlin Clark yet, is worthy of prime time television 3 nights a week, then the MWC is also valuable.
