I am wondering on the whole invitation thing. Seeing a lot of posts crowning Tx State as the new member. I think there are major hurdles with that. TX board of Regents has to approve an acceptance before June 30th, no meeting scheduled. Sun Belt exit fee goes from $5 to $10 million on 7/1. Lastly, I think everyone knows that since all other schools have essentially passed, they hold all the cards. I do think that they are playing hardball in negotiations, like full share plus first 5 years, travel cost cession, bonus for getting to playoff, etc. PAC still not settled the lawsuit so they do not know how much $$$ they will actually have so they cannot negotiate extra if it does not exist. I think the recent mention of us at Football only is really a negotiation gambit to get movement from Tx State. I do think PAC has already met internally and if no deal on 6/30 by like 10 am ish, they might offer football only to garner the necessary 8, with the deal being offered at 1/4 share of TV revenue or something like that. I don’t think they go past 6/30 without the minimum 8 qualifying. Probably off base but just thinking about angles and positioning, both sides then get what they want, both are using each other to get their end goal.
