According to media reports of course. I'd call that an indicator that they could participate in changing our fortunes. Yeah, we'll still be G5, but it is starting to look like a wealthier G5.

UNLV2001 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 COLORADO SPRINGS, Co. – The Mountain West Conference announced today a football scheduling agreement for the 2024 season between the Mountain West, Oregon State University, Washington State University, and the Pac-12 Conference. Next season, all 12 MW teams will play seven traditional Conference football games in addition to one contest against either Washington State or Oregon State for a total of eight games (four home and four away). The games against OSU and WSU will not count toward the conference standings, and neither Pac-12 school is eligible for the MW championship game. The Mountain West is currently working on the football schedule and will release matchups soon. “This is a unique and unprecedented opportunity for Oregon State and Washington State to play against highly competitive Mountain West football programs in 2024,” said MW Commissioner Gloria Nevarez. “The scheduling agreement will expand the Mountain West footprint and enhance our national brand, while providing our student-athletes with new opportunities, all in line with our strategic priorities. The scheduling agreement strengthens the league’s non-conference schedules, and we look forward to having Oregon State and Washington State be a part of the 2024 slate.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the bylaws, its pretty much.,.. Over 1 Year Notice (pre-June 30th) = 3x the Prior Year Average Revenue Distribution to Members Under 1 Year Notice (post-June 30th)= 6x the Prior Year Average Revenue Distribution to Members None of it is only related to the revenue provided by media deals. As well as the conference would need to have a full athletic season during the 2026-2027 timeframe of no media right deals in place for it to be reduced to a small amount. If MW members left on June 29th 2026, they'd still be basing the exit fees on the prior year's conference distributions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article says there is an option to extend to 2025....not guaranteed. Will be interesting to see how it plays out! You have to understand that Rebel Robert hasn’t been right at predicting anything in the many many years he’s been here. And that’s not smack or an exaggeration.

OSU/WSU probably want to wait until the MWC rights are on the open market before a merge, rather than try to renegotiate now with less leverage while the MWC is still under contract. The schools themselves know the exit fee situation isn’t changing, and that’s all that really matters. Also the independence short term gives them an opportunity to get an idea of the value of a Pac-MWC merge. I’m sure they will use this as an opportunity to see what the money would look like with a BoR conference as well. Of course this has to make people a little nervous, but I am pretty confident the money will just not be there to do that, and a full merge will ultimately be the move.

I also read that Brennan is going to be making $2 mil by 2026, something like that. That’s great and mind blowing to see SJSU take salaries so seriously. Now they need to add 8,000 seats above their student pill box bunker and pay students to come cheer at games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renoskier Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 On 12/1/2023 at 1:50 PM, Spaztecs said: Nope. Glo got the best deal she could. If she refused, the Pac Boys would simply schedule their chosen MW Schools without the $14 mil payoff. The bottom end of the Conference would have received zippo. There is also a mens and womens basketball scheduling agreement coming in the next few weeks. Without payouts. Better to a have a Pac2 squad on your schedule than a quad 3 or 4 game agianst a directional School. that's not true or possible without the conference making the schedule, how would any MWC teams have fit games into October and November? maybe they could have squeezed in a game or two on bye weeks but even those couldn't be scheduled until the conference schedule was finalized 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the SJSU athletic department is doing a pretty good job as a whole right now, except when it comes to designing buildings. It’ll be nice to see that improvement “rewarded”, in a way, if this merge happens. But if it doesn’t, o well. Then we will just chug along with the rest of the schools left behind and join up with some schools from Texas and some old friends like NMSU and UTEP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the teams in the conference would have been willing to do the same. In September. Can't play 'em all in September. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the games BYU has played against Boise and USU. there were many in October and November. The MW schools make their OOC schedule and the MWC then schedules conference games around the OOC schedule. SDSU had already had Wazzu in our 2024 OOC schedule for many years but we just dumped our FCS opponent to schedule Oregon St next year OOC date TBD. I suppose that game will be the one SDSU game against OSU/WSU that counts as a conference game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzyOzz Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Aren't the exit fees more or less covered by the the pac's trust money in that in 2 years public funds will be distributed, or recentralized, to a newly reconstituted public trust..but the money is all the same really.. I mean, there are worse problems to have and I doubt the Pac2+MWC+/- new trust will self sabotage. I mean, if the penalty is steep for only 10 schools, but they get to retain all power conference privileges and status..in the NCAA, CFB, and in the media..then that is what they will do I think.. I think that since Army+Navy+AF is off the table, that it should be a West Coast based league that caters to the families of student athletes the best.. Slow and steady.. How long will playoffs remain at 12? Because when it changes to 16, it will kick off a new wave of realignment... Now, over the next 2 years..the MWC+Pac is likely going to get 1.5 bids, half a bid will go to the rest, and 2 bids each for the other P5. That's the fairest ratio..its actually the only ratio that makes any sense.. They already will assume control of 10 bids..honestly, they should get 9.5 bids, the Pac2+mwc get 1.5 bids, and 1 full bid for the best of the rest. Either way, football expansion will lead to more inclusivity in football, not less, and a judge would confirm that anytime. So once the MWC+Pac gets its 1.5 bids assured, the cfb can figure out the rest without us...they hardly know what they are doing anyway..it's a mess for them lol.. What it means is that the MWC+Pac will always have 1 team in the cfp, and might have 2. Basically, our 2nd cfp team would have to play 1 extra game to get in, or something, and the battle for recruits starts again. WSU for example pretty much needs to get out of Cali because it can't really compete there now for example.. I just want a natty and it's closer than you think.. I'd be sicker than a dog, good luck though I'm a coug lucky us right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
