The PAC owes the MWC $55M for the schools they took, what's not clear is if they are helping pay the $18M exit fees for these schools which are separate from the poaching fee. If they are that's another $90M. You throw in 2 AAC schools and that's $54M is you pay the full exit or $34M if you cover the extra over the $10M normal exit fee. Worst case scenario you are looking at $200M, and W/OSU do not want to spend their entire war chest, they need that money to try to keep spending like they are a P4.
They are all playing par for the course in relation to their productivity while at UNT. They just do less overall due to the lesser minutes they are playing. Of the group, Edwards is actually playing better. Well, slightly more efficient. He did just repeat some of his UNT antics last night while losing to Alabama, 21 points on 20 shots.
It's been noted literally a few posts above yours that the PAC has 1/4 billion dollars to help alleviate financial difficulties. Not sure if they're willing to spend that money to get there, but they only have so long to reach their number of mandated full-time/football only athletics members.
Again, if there is any option to get there then we have to do what we can in order to get there. Memphis and Tulane collaborated together to turn down their offer. There is a reason for that. They believe the grass is greener on the other side for THEM. And they very well may be right. Who is to say we get an invite to their pasture? I am likened to believe we do not. So, we have to do what is best for US. And frankly, that's getting out of a conference that is going to be SBUSA in only a matter of time.
