The PAC is still broke with no media deal. They were no where near close enough on the last offer to grab those schools.
Iād like to be as ābrokeā as the Pac-12 is!
That proposal, while awful for basketball, is a lot better than what we are doing right now for all sports.
Yeah I figured NMSU fans are probably in the anger phase right now.
The PAC has been turned down by Tulane, USF, Memphis, UTSA, UNLV, and Air Force. They offered Memphis $2.5 million for exit fees that cost $25 million and the āpotentialā for $10-$15 million a year in TV revenue. The PAC still has no media deal and I donāt see any indication it will be $15 million a year. They currently get about $7.5 a year in the American depending on credits. Travel cost are estimated to be around $2 million extra a year as well flying out west for the PAC.
I feel like Iām in bizarro world and have to question what fandome Iāve decided to support. I completely agree that athletics will continue because thatās what future Iām trying to avoid.
I guess this falls somewhat in the Niner fans having beating dog syndrome that getās mentioned on here at times. P4 schools to G5 āWeād like to break off, create a new division and get paid moreā. G5 to P4 āOk, please do, and do it as quick as possible. We like being relegated and left outā. P4 to P4 āgeez, that went way easier than I envisioned. Maybe we should have asked them to also pay us to leave?ā.
Iām talking about the hundreds of millions currently in the Pac-12 coffers. And that bandied about $25 million AAC fee is not correct as that applied to SMU. Houston et al paid $18 million in exit fees, which is the precedent for Memphis et al. Not chump change, of course - Pac-12 was just being ācheapā on that.
Per the proposed House settlement, the G5 etc will be paying. And quite a lot!
Yes and we need to fight that tooth and nail and stop being scared of being left behind, because theyāve already decided they are kicking us to the curb.
Thatās a strong argument.
Iām not scared, I dislike. Not the same thing.
Lol, good spin, but not the same. Yes, G5 is potentially paying above itās share, but P4 are also paying.
The we I referred to was the athletic departments of the G5 schools. Unless you work for one? 
Weāve already been relegated. Before NIL and the portal I would have been fighting this all the way, but a school like us canāt compete at the national level of the top schools now. We arenāt playing the same game as Georgia and Alabama and neither are most schools.
Really depends on where the break is if it works out ok for us.
Not sustainable given the attached data
