“We can have a P4 environment”. Yeah, like a SMU vs Duke game or a late season 2-8 Arizona at 4-6 Kansas game. What a crock.

Isn’t that what we’re talking about? SHSU saying not interested in the MW. You’re the one that posted the tweet that started the conversation.

Right. Not sure why SHSU would feel the same as UTEP.

I hope EJ gets himself on the court this year. We could no doubt use his length, athleticism and smooth shot (for a 6’8” guy).

Does SHSU feel that way?

Who cares? They’re in a conference with FCS move ups and a better geographical fit for them.

I think the article that quotes 6M states that MWC thinks they can get the same contract as before, but divided by 8 instead of 12 means the previous 4M per team becomes 6M per team.

That’s just people hypothetically speaking though. The MWC most certainly isn’t staying at 8 teams anyway.

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.

Yes, I saw that too, I know it applies for UNLV.

So... only 2 or 3x what CUSA would pay instead of natty's 4-6x ? I'd take that raise anyway

I’ll take the raise, better league, and old regional rivals any day. I don’t think I would get excited playing Delaware amd Kennesse St.

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.

They most likely can't afford exit fees and membership fees to buy in. They just bought into CUSA.

People are saying MWC is going to be paying out $3-7 million per school while CUSA is paying out $600k. No way they would prefer CUSA over MWC.

Exactly. It’s also another way of saying they can’t afford to go or that the MWC only expressed “interest” and did not offer.

We might not be on board with this jaunt over the border, but it is a big deal to their leaders and NBA player Najera was on hand.

Well 750,000 a year vs what will be 4-6 million a year says otherwise
