  1. https://www.denverpost.com/2023/11/28/sean-lewis-deion-sanders-cu-buffs-football-marriage-broke-up/ Denver Post believes the Aztecs just landed a coup.
  2. Here is his write up and bio. https://goaztecs.com/news/2023/11/29/san-diego-state-football-names-sean-lewis-head-coach.aspx After posting a 2-10 mark in his inaugural season with the Golden Flashes, Kent State compiled a 22-21 overall record in Lewis' final four years with the program, including a 17-10 ledger in conference play. Except for the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, the Flashes played three Power 5 schools each season during Lewis' tenure. Excluding those Power 5 games, his record at KSU improves to 22-9.
  3. Not true. The Friday morning prior to the PAC collapse, when it looked like they would all sign the Apple deal, SDSU was told they would be in and they were all set to be invited. In fact, they had already written their public statement and were just waiting for the signatures that morning. Of course, as we all know, instead of the meeting that would have everyone sign, Oregon and Washington instead announced their departure to the BIG and the PAC died and SDSU's path to P5 with it.

  5. The Big12 doesn't want OSU/WSU. They didn't even want Calford. Why would they want 2 schools way up in the northwest?
  6. Earlier this week, WSU’s Schulz and OSU’s Murthy sent a letter to Kliavkoff and the other 10 presidents expressing concern that: “… the recent correspondence from the Commissioner’s office creates the misimpression that representatives of all Conference members are eligible to serve on the Board, participate in Board meetings, and vote on Board matters. That is incorrect.” It adds: “Indeed, when (UCLA) and (USC) gave notice of their withdrawal from the Conference in June 2022, the Conference deemed their representatives ineligible to participate on the Board or vote on any Conference matters. The fact that eight more members have now given notice of their withdrawal from the Conference does not change this rule.” The Pac-12 took the same approach to board membership this summer. After Colorado announced on July 27 that it was leaving for the Big 12, chancellor Phil DiStefano was excluded from subsequent Pac-12 board meetings that occurred before Aug. 4, when five more schools departed, according to the complaint. In his statement to the court, WSU’s Schulz says the 10 outgoing schools “are now motivated to dissolve the Pac-12—against which their new conferences will otherwise compete beginning next year — and distribute its assets.” Additionally, the letter from WSU and OSU to the conference sought confirmation that: — The Sept. 13 board meeting would be canceled. — The 10 departing schools have relinquished their voting rights. — The presidents of WSU and OSU are the “only duly authorized Board members.” Washington State and Oregon State requested a response to their letter by Friday (today) at 10 a.m. Soon after the deadline, the legal process began in Whitman County, home to WSU.
  7. Isn't the exit fee 3 times the yearly media deal? If there is no media deal what is it 3 times of?
  8. This would be my guess as well. If they take the best 6 MW teams they could schedule a home and home with them in 2024 and 2025. That plus their existing OOC would give them 9-10 games. What would the exit fee be for MW teams in 2026 after the media contract ends? Zero or close to it? They could also put OLY sports in the BigWest for 1-2 years. Can they get half the MWC to commit to that idea? $120-150 million for both WSU and OSU if they can pull it off. It would be very difficult, but impossible?
  9. The seat is already there until 2026 and can't be taken away (at least in regards to payment). But you are correct, it's logistically VERY difficult and would require someone like the MW to cooperate. Not saying its going to happen, just relaying that is a path they are looking at.
  10. So, here's one option Oregon State and Washington State are exploring: they're considering remaining a Pac2 conference for a duration of two years. Here's the rationale behind this strategy. They plan to request a two-year waiver, allowing them to maintain conference status despite having fewer than 8 teams. During this period, they would retain all their basketball credits, which amount to $60 million. Furthermore, they would maintain their status as an A5 conference, ensuring access not only to the full CFP payout of $150 million but also a likely automatic berth in the playoffs. This would accumulate to $210 million in credits, split between two teams. One of these teams would be guaranteed a playoff spot, and the other would secure their highest-rated bowl game. I don' t know if this doable and/or if the MW would assist them for long the term gain (like with scheduling) but it is interesting.
  11. And you are so certain and if anything has shown, is that realignment can be very unpredictable. If I had a nickel for how often people on this board were wrong about realignment I would be rich, including you.
  12. In contract law, the party making a claim for damages typically has the burden of proving those damages. That would be the MWC. This means the MWC would need to present evidence to demonstrate the extent and nature of the damages suffered. The burden of proof is on the MWC because the legal principle is that they are the ones making an affirmative claim. It is their responsibility to provide evidence and persuade the court that they are entitled to the full amount. The MWC can withhold media payments, but they would need to take legal action to get anything else. Again this is why NO exiting team has ever payed for the full exit fee despite what any contract has said.
