There will definitely be uneven distribution of revenue amongst the members. To keep UNLV and AF, they had to do that. Make them feel special.

I would say at the worst 50% so if that’s true then 1.75 million would be a million more and a 133% increase than what we get in CUSA. Also if that’s true is the case hopefully it’s not forever and only for a designated amount of years.There will definitely be uneven distribution of revenue amongst the members.

Very plausible Senter goofed up and got us a 25% share and a Planet Fitness membership. But, there was no way to know the PAC would have to stoop down to the NMSUs of the world for their final membership slot. UTEP had to jump on the opportunity to get into the MWC.
Inside the grant of media rights contract Mountain West schools have signed
As the Pac-12 looks to add a necessary eighth football-playing school, the Mountain West's strongest binding agent in retaining its current membership is the 15
UTEP should receive about 3.5 million per year but final numbers should come out soon.
If so, I hope it's performance based. Maybe that'll motivate utep to give a crap.
Curious why you purposely excluded Grand Canyon for Basketball and N. Illinois for Football and didn’t mentionUC Davis is Basketball only? Anywho, inflation was mentioned, but also addition by subtraction is something you’re forgetting. Less teams, Bigger pieces!
Fewer teams also means fewer markets and less exposure for the league to sell to tv networks. As I’ve said from the beginning, don’t take everything you see online at face value. Until there’s an official announcement speculation is just that.
The speculation hasn’t just been from us though Corona, it’s been from pretty reliable sources. People who know a lot more than you or I.
The only semi reliable source I’ve heard tossing around those figures is someone unknown from the Mountain West offices. Forgive me if I’m not naive enough to believe those numbers. Of course they’re going to spin things in the most favorable light. They’re trying to position themselves as an attractive destination for expansion. It’s basic PR strategy, inflate the upside, downplay the reality. Until I see the actual contract details I’ll remain skeptical.
I don’t see it being much less than before, maybe a little. The core teams will get the most, followed by Hawaii, N. Illinois and Utep probably the same only because Utep is bringing all sports, Grand Canyon and then UC Davis
I’m pretty sure the media payouts will be the same for all full members. Only NIU, GCU, and UCD should get reduced media payments.
Well if that does prove to be the case that’s better for Utep and I’d be very surprised if it’s under 3 million for any of the full members. Corona is comparing MWC to CUSA deal and forgetting the Sun Belt gets 2 million per team. The realigned MWC will 100% get more than the SBC.
UTEP does more with less though. Or was it less with more???
Highly doubt that UTEP gets paid the same as NIU.
Well I would highly doubt that we would get less than N. Illinois since they’re only bringing Football. Also remember we were signed up way before N. Illinois.
I didn't say they would. UTEP should get paid more than them but, again, our administrators are incompetent.
Why do you say that, when we just gave Golding a 3 year extension hahaha 😂 lol
So… Corona then what this is basically saying is what we’ve been saying all along. MWC will be around 3.5 million per school which is about half of what the PAC is getting. That would be way higher than you’ve been saying. Even if UNLV and Air Force get more, I’d be very surprised if Utep gets under 2 million which again is more than 2 in half times what we make now.
What I’ve been trying to understand and maybe you can help explain it is this: How does a conference lose its top brands, its most valuable TV ratings teams, and still end up securing a media deal that’s worth more than the one it had before?
The MWC is still valuable because of the time slots it plays in. Allegedly Fox and CBS are still going to be aligned with the MWC. FS1 and CBSSN need late night programming. Something the MAC, SBC, CUSA, and AAC really can’t provide.
That still doesn’t explain why those TV partners would be willing to pay the same amount or even more for a product that’s clearly diminished in quality.
NBA ratings have continuously dropped and they still get more money on their next contract. When was the last time a sports organization took a pay cut on their media deal?
Even CUSA when it was down to 5 teams and replenished with FCS move ups and teams nobody else wanted, was able to get a pay increase.
So again even if it’s a bit less than what they had before, there are fewer schools. Add on what Kane mentioned about time slot and keeping the same TV Networks. With all that combined its believed it will be close to the same per team which was I believe 3.5-4 million each team. You again brought up a good point about Utep possibly getting less. Idk if that’s the case, but it could be. Even with that though Utep’s TV payout is set to more than double and more than likely triple the $750,000 we are currently getting.
Yeah that’s true. I talked to 15 miner fans and they said being in a league with San Jose St is better than one with San Diego St. Fans are glad that Wyoming is coming here instead of Colorado St as well!
Yeah SDSU, Boise St. and Colorado St. were the big losses then to a smaller extent and who really cares Fresno St. and Utah St. Here how it stacks up as of right not counting a possible addition of Texas St.
