The PAC/MWC Dominoes Begin to Fall

[SDHornet]

I read a post that Teresa Gould the president of PAC 12 believes PAC & MWC will settle out of court for 50% of the amount in poaching fees.

I doubt that. Nothing worse than a woman scorned. Gloria Nevarez MWC is a smart business person. She doesn't need to discount it.

In addition Teresa stating her plan of that in public was poor execution.

Part of that “saved $” from that settlement she was going to direct toward bringing Memphis to PAC to get 8 members FBS.

Without those funds Memphis will decline like in past. Buy out too big in AAC. Travel costs too big too without extra $$.

Then she wants to use whatever they have to try bring Tulane, USF, Louisiana or TX State in.

After that she mentions SAC STATE option.

If we were already FBS like Sam Houston for example we could have already joined in my opinion.

I see this coming down to litigation between PAC & MWC poaching fees. Also how long that drags out.

If I were MWC I’d drag it out to suffocate PAC from a having Memphis.

Let’s see how savage Gloria is? The Teresa interview wasn’t smart disclosing her plan of action.

Truthfully for business reasons I want PAC for Max $. But I still like the MWC as well. Still some solid programs and having Reno & SJSU regionally are very convenient partners for over 20 sports.

Well stated. The PAC poaching of the MW fallout has been quite the saga to follow. Nevarez has outwitted and outmaneuvered Gould nearly every step of the way. Key thing to note is that all of these schools have backstabbed each other over the years regarding conference realignment which dates back to the Big West football days so there is no love lost between all these universities.

People think the PAC and MW will settle on the poaching fee issue, but there is no reason for the MW to cave and the longer they draw it out in litigation the more desperate the PAC will get...which of course is good for our chances of getting into the PAC.

Various folks have speculated that the media money isn't there to entice the AAC targets to come over, and they also likely wouldn't want to make a decision until the poaching fee litigation is resolved. It's a total mess for the PAC.
