And the current $25 million number for the MWC relies on someone other than CBS buying games like UNLV @ Wyoming to actually reach that number, which isn't going to happen.
People saying the MWC is going to get more or equal to the Big East contract are grossly uninformed, or just spiteful about the Big East (C-USA, MWC folks)
Not equal, but close enough that going coast-to-coast won't look super-attractive, especially to a conference that's lost 10 members in the last 12 months.
Really? So you already know what the new league will be making. Give me a break some of you C7 fans need to give it a break.

We're assuming "if Boise State goes back to the MWC." That pretty strongly implies that the NBE won't be making the money people thought.
If the NBE is making 3x what the MWC is making, Boise STate isn't going back, even if the MWC gives them their home TV rights.

Huge assumption there. As I said I'm just tired of all the nonBE football fans posting negative assumptions about the new league. Hw would you feel if every thread about the new C7 league started or posted by nonC7 fans was about all the negative assumptions on its future.

If the Big East keeps Boise, then the Big East.
If Boise is in the Mountain West, then no one.
Was there ever a bunch of speculation and debate about what the best non-AQ conference was? I don't think so. Was there chatter about whether the 16-team WAC or C-USA was stronger? I don't think so. Comparing the MWC to C-USA? No. After the ACC raided the Big East raided C-USA, there was debate over whether the MWC was better than the Big East. But no one is going to argue that the best-of-the-rest conference is better than the ACC. (No one on TV, that is.) So no one will care.
Thats because the best team from those conferences did not have an autobid to a BCS game.
