You have to cut ESPN a piece of the action or this is what happens.
Thank you! I was starting to wonder if I was holding a tin foil hat party by myself.

RE: Boise State files suit against the MWC
Boise takes pay cut to move AAC. MWC money tripled. 1.1/3.3 n 1.8/5.4
Boise wants 8.7m for FB only
New contract in '26 triples. Boise = 25 million, MWC schools =15 million. Conn making more
We're calling Thompson & Conn the idiots

I don't want Boise... but imagine if we dumped UConn football and added Boise football. Holy hell that would be an awesome swap. Easy enough to add VCU to cover the BB loss. Wowsa..

You're so hard to read and so wrong that its rarely worth the effort.
This is not happening in a vacuum, Boise has no where to go and no leverage. It is likely they push AFA right into our arms. Move Memphis to the east and add VCU to balance AFA as a FB only. WSU becomes AFA buddy and VCU becomes Navy's buddy.

There is no reason to add VCU unless they add value. OTOH, the AAC will be compelled to add a 12th football school unless a rule change is enacted (an unlikely event IMO).

RE: Boise State files suit against the MWC
Article in the Idaho Statesman says every other member of the Mountain West Conference voted that Boise State should *not* get an enhanced share of Revenue. Boise alleges the mountian West breached the contractual agreement by withholding material information related to the media contract. Honestly this could not come at a better time for the AAC

RE: Boise State files suit against the MWC
I dont get it. Boise for football only would be about 3.5 mil-ish. Doesnt seem like much of an incentive to switch conferences. I say mwc is calling theur bluff. But what do you expect when your coach calls the guy out as being a softie.

RE: Boise State files suit against the MWC
Why all this talk about VCU when if we made a western wing, we could just add Gonzaga? Something like:
Boise State
BYU (Football only)/Gonzaga (olympics)
SDSU

It’s not that far from Boise, and they flirted with the MWC before, I’d say that they would be likely to consider joining if the AAC had a western wing. The AAC would be dumb not to take them, they’re a perennial top 10 team.

They’re an elite basketball brand. I think it would be worth it. Spokane has an international airport, it’s not that remote.

Eh if you read their claims it makes sense
Boise generates more revenue than another other MWC. That's likely a fact and they have a contract that states it.
They don't generate more revenue than AAC teams, so that clause wouldn't make sense if they were to come to the AAC.
but boise believes they do...boise asked for a seperae contract when they were in the aac... which is why they left, we refused
after they forced the MWC to accept their sweetheart deal they came right back to the aac, and said theyd stay if we matched the deal..we didnt boise has always been a diva
wichita fans are new so you might not be aware of this, but our old contract literally said 4 teams drove the tv value and those 4 teams were most important (and the contract would be void if any left)...those 4 teams didnt receive more, we split it evenly among everyone...
Pesik, just out of curiosity who were the original 4 teams that would void the contract if one left? Considering the timeframe I would expect UConn and Cincy to be 2 of them, but I could make an argument for Houston, Memphis, USF and even SMU as well.
I never even knew of that clause, but it's interesting and makes sense.

it was part of the nbc contract which put the teams into 2 tiers

If we added Boise State, San Diego State and Gonzaga BYU would want to be a full member and it would make sense to have them as full members.

Boise State files suit against the MWC
Some people posting here are nuts. There is absolutely no benefit for us to add Boise. I doubt ESPN gives us any more money. We have already proven that we are the better conference. As long as the top teams in the conference handle their business, we will always be in the NY6 bowl.
The MWC screwed themselves making this deal let them and Boise rot.
