BE still better than MWC or CUSA

Post by Rebel10 »

As long as Boise, Louisville and Cincinnati stay. BE TV contract will still be better than CUSA or MWC each of whom are probably getting less than 1.5 mil per team

Boise/SDSU will be back in the MWC by Christmas IMO.
Back off Warchild seriously.

No question, but it is still painful to watch.

I would think MWC would consider taking USM and Tulsa?

10 million dollar buyout will prevent that. MWC not paying more than 1.5 million per year to each team on their conference. It would be a financial disaster for any team to go back.

Taking ECU and Tulane, you'd think BE is preparing for more movement. A pre-strike for the number of teams the ACC is going to take from the BE. You almost hope for mass chaos. ACC to lose 4 more teams and then see what happens. Can't get any worse for us.......right?

I don't think so! Say what you want about the MWC, but they have great leadership. They only add schools when absolutely necessary and have avoided diluting their product with additions. Granted the MWC is not the league it was with Utah, BYU, and TCU, but they are not getting worse. The same cannot be said about CUSA and now the Big East.

I'm sure Boise/SDU had a disaster clause in their contract about a BE buyout. I'd guess if UL, Cincy, and UCONN left, it would trigger that clause.

Big East is dead.

Cincinnati and Louisville will literally beg the Big 12/ACC to be let in

UConn is probably already a lock for the ACC.

There you have it. CUSA 3.0

Cincy and Lousville would have taken any BCS bid anyway. You have to be asked to go to the Prom
