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.
