There are a lot of positive for the MW in this deal, along with some disappointments. All-in-all it's better than I expected, but worse than I had hoped.

If I am reading the tea leaves correctly, the backstabbers will get about $1M more a year than the teams in the MWC. That is not chump change but one has to wonder what might have been had all the teams merged into one conference?

That's pretty easy to answer: It would have been roughly the same value of the combined TV deals. Why a merger didn't happen will be one of the most maddening questions to come out of realignment.

Basically, the media version of divide and conquer.
