Small-time, myopic thinking that apparently MT subscribes to.   Sucks for WKU.

It is but it is practical also.  I don’t think they covert a TV pay cut and playing multiple games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays either.  What they seem not to understand is that they are not in a leverage position.  Putting short term financial concerns aside, I don’t see how this makes long term sense for MT.   Fostering regional rivalries is the way to go and the MAC provides that even though MT recruits the South.

MT isn’t staying put by choice.  The MAC isn’t expanding.

The rumor is that MT could not work out the financials and the MAC released a statement so MT and WKU could save face.  Also I don’t know how the negotiation details getting out helps anyone involved.  It might have been the TV partners telling the MAC their addition wouldn’t stave off a significant pay cut or increase the payout on the next contracts significantly.  I think that was happening behind the scenes when PAC 12 and MWC explored coming east also.  
 

[I also think this mess with the Bally’s network has all media partners managing smaller revenue organizations (Smaller than the NBA & MLB) very cautious.  That is also limiting the projected contracts they will be offering for these smaller organizations.]

Well, this is better for La Tech. I'm sure this makes them extra angry about the SHSU addition.

Still not convinced this is a good move for Sam Houston. I think they are joining in FBS a lot sooner than they wanted to because they're worried about coming changes to FBS requirements

Moving up to FBS when you aren't financially ready can have decades long effects. Just look at ULM for what could happen!

MT leadership is absolutely bombing this whole process. They could get a coach to recruit a different area if that is even needed. MAC would have been a decent fit for those two. Being in booming Nashville metro I have no idea how they can be getting left out of everything.

      Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
