So many unknowns. Newly added AAC schools are being poorly paid at this point in that contract. If MWC adds/merges with OSU and WSU and then has a nice jump in Media contract it would/could be enticing to the newer teams in the AAC.
AAC also could easily lose Memphis, Tulane, and USF to a rebuilding ACC. Neither conference is a pillar of stability but I think the AAC is also at risk to keep losing teams.
Again so many unknowns.
and they use the pac 2 network infrastructure. So CW pitch: Yes CW can broadcast your games But we need your production studio at very low cost or the $$ make no sense. I seem to remember the MWC giving Root Sports a sweetheart deal to broadcast our games just to get them on air.
There is more coming in than $15 million
They have the NCAA PAC BB credits that were earned over a 6 year period. That is somewhere around $80 million after this year
They have $12 million from the CFP playoffs for the next two years.
Some of the $50 million set aside may be available after the lawsuits are settled.
My son is an OSU engineering grad. I still go to one Beaver game a year. Was disappointed when Wyo was scheduled against WSU. I barely recognize the campus will all the new buildings and remodels in progress.
The $50 million is to help pay off the lawsuits the PAC is facing.
They have: this going forward after this year:
$15 million in one time money from this settlement.
$13 million from the CFP. each year for the next two years
$3.6 million each annually for at least the years 2026-28 from the CFP
NCAA basketball credits over the next 6 years. I am not sure of that number but it is the biggest Chunk they get.
Whatever the PAC TV stuff is worth and any TV/media deal they can make.
What am I missing?
GOP has blocked house efforts to look into SAUDI payents to Kushner. He has cover
He totally flipped on banning TiK TOK after meeting with a billionaire donor.
Far Right heads would be exploding if Biden did this.
My Son at Oregon State used to do a job for $$ cash. He and a friend drove a guys dog from Vegas to Buffalo NY every year. Only 3 speeding tickets.
When young, I did a Wyoming to Seattle to San Diego to Vegas and back to Wyoming. Was over 3,000 miles and similar distance to a coast to coast drive. Pick some highlights you want to see along to way. We stayed with a couple of friends and a day on the beach in San Diego. Helped break up the driving.
