Do these credible sources exist outside of your head? Because I haven't seen anyone report anything like "7,8, 7.5 mil to 10,11 mil per year" or "4 to 6 to 8 to 10 mil" from CFP. Honestly, ranges like that just scream "not credible."
Also haven't seen anyone (except you) say that a rebuilt Pac-X would get 16-22M. Seems unlikely, since we were only going to get 23 when we still had 7 of the 10 traitors. The numbers I've seen estimated a high end of 16, with some variability based on who was included.
Also haven't seen anyone (except you) mention adding Memphis and Tulane to the Pac. I really don't understand what your fixation with them is. You don't need to explain though, I don't care enough to read another nonsensical rant. By the way, just in case you haven't noticed, your caps lock key has been stuck for about a decade.
Right now, I don't see a ton of motivation for most of the MWC. They have a path to the playoff without WSU and OSU. The networks have shown that they don't see us having a ton of value, so it's not clear that we bring much to the table financially (except the short-term pile of cash we're sitting on). Their biggest incentive might be that maybe if us and OSU join, we back a plan for equal revenue sharing and BSU loses their bigger piece of the pie. But, I suspect we'd go the other way and say we should get a bigger piece too. 11 MWC members have had to put up with Boise State looking down on the rest of the conference and demanding more money for years, why do they want two more schools who think they're better than everyone else?
Reality sucks for WSU, because the fact is that we need a conference - any conference - more than any of them need us.
I did NOT say EVERY, ANY OLE rebuilt PAC would get 16 to 22 mil percteam per year.
The ONLY way the PAC 8 gets that kind of money is to SPECIFICALLY get BSU, SDSU, Fresno, UNLV, Memphis, Tulane. Could replace 1 of those with Airforce, UTSA, and still get that kind of money.
If Rebuilt PAC 8 was Utah St, CSU, Wyoming, North Texas, Stephen F Austin, Sacramento St, that kind of Rebuilt PAC 8 would NOT get 16 to 22 mil.
What the PAC 12 got offered before the 10 left? It was NOT 23 ORIGINALLY. It was 30 mil per team per year from ESPN. The PAC leadership said NO to that, AND THEN because of that screw up, blunder, PAC 12 got a last ditch 23 mil per team per year offer from Apple, not because they weren't worth 30, but because Apple could offer them only 15 if wanted because Apple knew that if PAC 12 didn't take whatever crumbs offered PAC 12 was SCREWED.
So the real what the PAC number is worth with the 10 that left is 30 mil per team per year, not 23. And it's even higher because PAC could have gotten 34,35,36,37 mil per team, per year if made a reasonable counter off to ESPN instead of demanding at least 50+ mil per team per year.
Based on that, and the credible sources that said, reported 16 to 22 mil for the kind of PAC rebuild I talked about, 16 to 22 mil is quite logical, reasonable for the specific PAC rebuild I mentioned, as 16 mil is about half of the 30 that PAC offered by ESPN, and 22 is about 3/5 of the 37 PAC 12 probably would have gotten if reasonable counter offer made to ESPN.
Also BSU, Fresno St, SDSU, UNLV, Memphis, Tulane, WSU, as PAC 8 is competition wise almost as good as Arizona, ASU, Colorado, Stanford, CAL, Utah, UW, Oregon, WSU, OSU, and TV, value, etc, wise about 1/2 the value, etc, as the PAC 12, so BSU, SDSU, Fresno, UNLV, Memphis, Tulane, WSU, OSU getting 16 to 22 mil team per year is pretty reasonable, logical, does make sense, is what has been reported etc.
