A source said the new deal is worth more than the old deal, which paid the MAC about a $1 million a year. Yikes...

FresnoFanatic Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 It's not, lol. As discussed in the other thread, they're getting like 666k a school. $8MM/yr for the conference and some basketball games. Pretty good for the MAC who keeps chugging along as the most stable G5 conference by far. Thru 2026 kind of sucks, tho. Inflation gonna eat them up big time. But hey. At least they are hanging around on national tv for midweek games. Wouldn't hurt to schedule home and home with one of their programs once in a while.

FresnoFanatic Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Been there done that. No thanks. I like your future schedules. The two Belt teams you did pick are top in the Belt most years in ULL and Troy. Only 1 fcs (next year vs Idaho St). And the rest is strong and balanced but not ridiculously strong. I think I heard our AD mention recently on a local radio show that our OOC scheduling will look more like yours than our past gauntlet types PH used to like. This year's was by chance since USC was kind of last second for reasons I cannot remember. Quote ~ FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FresnoFanatic Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Wyo schedules MAC but we also recruit out there Good to go. And I hope I didn't give the impression that scheduling the MAC is a bad thing. I like Pokes' future schedule where you have 1 P5 and a strong MAC (NIU) for the next two years building with Bohl, and then have 2 P5s in Bohl's 4th year. I think the Cowboys have a bright near future ahead. May or may not be rocky this season, but should be strong after this season if not the last half of this season.
