"These conference affiliation changes will take place in the 2026-27 season with the media-rights potential one of the big reasons the Pac-12 refused to do a reverse merger with the 11-team MW, which would have resulted in a more bloated conference and less media money per school. Estimations have put the Pac-12's new TV deal at around $10 million per school. That would be significantly below the Power 4 but atop the Group of 6.

MW schools currently make about $3.5 million annually in media-rights money with Boise State getting an additional $1.8 million carveout. The American Athletic Conference has the Group of 6's highest per-school payout, which is reportedly around $8 million each. The MW also is negotiating a post-2026 media-right deals after adding Hawaii and UTEP as full members; Grand Canyon and UC Davis as non-football members; and Northern Illinois as a football-only school."

I'll continue the other conversation here.

Yes, Memphis, USF, and Tulane want P4 status when the ACC collapses. They are positioned to fill-in the ACC in various ways but especially geographically; we are not. Unless the BIG 12 collapses and they decide they need another DFW school, there are no other P4 conferences that make sense for us geographically. The next logical step upwards for us is the new PAC. The footprint is similar to the AAC's eastern schools. We just need 1 or 2 travel partners. I doubt the PAC will go snatch MAC schools. The MWC poaching is also done. Texas is a huge area of need for them. If UTSA and/or Texas State get plucked but we don't, might as well close up shop. It would be our last reasonable life jacket.
