Pac MW settlement

I think it is in the $80M-$90M range. PAC would gloat if it were $60M and below and MW would gloat if it were $150M. Gloria is not the gloating type, but the PAC would 100% gloat but they still have not released their TV numbers AND they don't have the assets to pay that $80-90M price tag.
 
I’ve read a couple of articles today from Nevada websites and they are speculating that the total buyout is around $70M. Seems kind of low to me but money in pocket is better than no money at all.

If $70 million is the number the dispersement equates to a guaranteed $7.015 million for UW from the first $61 million and then using the same formula another $1.035 million for a total of $8.05 million.

Given that Burman is reimbursing the sheep generously for the privilege to play games in Fart Colons I doubt there will be much left over.

I hate him for what he has done (or frankly not done) with Wyoming Athletics the past 20 years.

It really puts into perspective how long-term this gamble is. Even if the Pac-12 pays about $3.3 million more per year, you're still looking at roughly five years just to break even after the exit costs. That's a tough pill to swallow.


Waiting until Year 5 before you see any real financial gain means administrators are betting on future value, not immediate returns. If media rights plateau, expenses rise, or the league underperforms competitively, that payoff gets pushed even further out. Five years is a long time to wait just to get back to even.

Smart gamble in my opinion. It isn’t really about the financial outlook of the current PAC vs the current MWC. It’s about putting yourself in position to land in a higher tier when the inevitable reorganization of college football occurs.

There is going to be such a drastic difference in money between those tiers, that any short term costs will pay off x1000 if it actually gets you into a higher tier. The teams that went to the PAC are doing so primarily for that long term positioning. They believe that will put them in a better position to land in a higher tier. The short term financials only have to be good enough to keep the conference solvent.

Is it likely that any of the PAC teams end up in a higher tier? Probably not, but at least they are trying.
