Barnes can plan all he wants. They will not have any way to do so as the buyouts remain next year.
Plus if both schools should lose their lawsuit, there aint going to be much $$ for them to pay off any buyouts. If that happens, I suspect both will be begging the MW for membership invitations.
I want CHAMPIONSHIPS not chicken poop! And we're getting chicken poop!!!!!!!!!!!

My point really was about OSU/WSU playing for a MW title game.

One step closer to the Pac-14.
IMHO as long as Wyoming is a part of this "PAC-14" idea, I don't care what else happens....except for winning a conference championship in football before I'm dead of old age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tickedoff:

I wonder if schools leaving are still owed money due to current conference bylaws or if the two can change everything to where they get every dollar. I'd expect they'd try to minimize lawsuits and come to some kind of settlement
