Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5084829, member: 44"] I was thinking about our $15 million Big East exit fee, but you're right, obviously, it doesn't apply. Still. if they're offering to pay $2.5 million to Mountain West schools to join, I feel as if we should get at least that. call it a signing bonus. Apparently, part of the deal for the mountain west schools was that they would not be entitled to receive college football playoff money if they joined the PAC-2. That's what like $15 million per school. I'm not sure that's money that we would be willing to leave on the table. As their pool of potential candidates continue to dwindle our negotiation leverage increases. Hundred percent agree. However, if they want a GOR, that is a shorter term than the next possible realignment window, that might be something that I would think about giving them. I agree with you that any affiliation with them has to be easy to exit, because at best, it is an interim step for us. [/QUOTE]
