NDSU to MWC

[Griz til I die]

UNLV literally turned the PAC down to extort more money from the MWC.

And it turns out that the money is nearly identical regardless of what conference they decided on. Does make you wonder now if they would’ve opted for the PAC with the better competition.

I wonder if the Big 12 ever considered UNLV?

 

[EverettGriz]

True. It can’t be done. You can it on napkin to confirm that. It’s not hard.

Except...Kent is on record saying it can, so....

That could still happen.

That could still happen.

For sure!

The $$ isn't identical for both Conferences, the Wazzu President said the new PAC deal is around 1/3 of the old PAC deal putting it between 7-8 Million, the MWC is only able to maintain the 3.5 Million per team due to the Exit fees ans now probably NDSUs contribution

It is for UNLV because of the additional financial concessions the MWC made to keep them from leaving.

Are you kidding? They JUST became competitive in the MWC…you think they wanna go to the PAC and go 3-9 every year again?

Well, the PAC is pretty much the old MWC.

Which most will be used to fix their debt issue, its reported to be around 27-31 Million

They’ve been competitive the last two years playing against the teams that are now in the PAC.

Which means UNLV got at nearly identical money from the MWC as they could have gotten from the PAC, which was the initial post you commented on.

You need a better source.

Ah misunderstood thought they were talking about the Media deal

It would suck for UND and USD, but it would be cool for UM, MSU, Idaho, and South Dakota State to get invites to the MWC to round it all out at 14.

Two divisions of 7, keep the schedule full of annual rivals.

East: Air Force, New Mexico, Northern Illinois, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, UTEP, Wyoming

West: Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Montana State, Nevada, San Jose State, UNLV

UC Davis is a lock to join the MWC in Football

From what I understand Kent said it isn’t feasible under the current monetary conditions but it is bound to happen as some point when the monetary conditions change.

I feel really bad for NDSU. Now they will be scheduling home-and-home games with teams like App State, James Madison, Coastal Carolina, Oregon State, Washington State, Wyoming, Utah State, Oklahoma State, Boise State, Delaware, Sam Houston State, ETC…

So glad we are sticking with our “actual peers” - Northern Colorado, Southern Utah, Utah Tech, Portland State, Morehead State, Central Washington, Ferris State, etc.. Those are absolutely matchups that are worth the $30-$60 for admission.

They’re not going to be scheduling home and homes with power 4 like Oklahoma State.

Huh… how did Wyoming do it with Texas?

They’ve played 3 home and 1 away against Wyoming so it isn’t a true home and home. Wyoming is also a lot more interesting for their fans to travel to than Fargo. Good luck convincing fan bases to go up to Fargo.
