AGapBlitz Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 2 minutes ago, soupslam1 said: The MWC started this mess when they tried to renege on their contract with Boise State. Boise is just looking out for their own interest like any other MWC school would. It seems convenient to omit BSU asking for a greater % actually starting this round of animosity. Was BSU justified in asking? I'm sure most reasonable people would say yes. Did BSU and CT go about it in a manner that pleased the remaining members? Survey says, nope. 15 minutes ago, nvspuds said: It may be tabled for now but the possibility of the law suit coming back hangs over everything. The lawsuit was for breach of contract. Contract is no longer in breach. I suppose BSU could sue under some other grounds but I suspect the remaining members would countersue BSU for breach of contract. Sticky widget.

I just dispute the notion that this is the only reason Boise is unhappy with the conference..The relationship was shaky before the suit..It is shot now. I doubt Boise cares.. A big reason for Boise States unhappiness is the MWC and it’s leadership are not proactive in promoting the MWC schools and some schools and their fans aren’t proactive in improving the product they put on the field. Face it, any team in the MWC wants to leave for a better deal. Boise State is just more vocal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the rub, this issue isn’t settled by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boise isn’t concerned about other schools and MWC promoting them, it doesn’t line up with their actions and what they say. If anything, Boise is frustrated because they’ve regressed in football and they don’t get more promotion and a bigger slice of the pie. Tromp wanted more than the current 1.8 million bonus money they are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always advise to keep it strictly business on those emails. I don’t buy this as a mistake. Harsin doesn’t have a direct line to the AD or Tromp to complain about the MWC? Nah, don’t buy it and I don’t even think this was truly about the 2020 season hanging in the balance either. Stuff has been percolating over there for awhile. 100%. I've done consulting work with dozens of public agencies over the years and it's not at all uncommon for them to use a template on their emails reminding employees that most of what they say is discoverable under the state's version of FOIA. At times, things are nevertheless said which the sender wouldn't want to be public knowledge but no way would somebody at the level of head football coach at a major university make that mistake.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
