The Mountain West Conference's TV contract for football "has failed miserably for many schools, particularly UNLV," according to Ed Graney of the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL. In the first two years of the league’s deal with CBS and ESPN, Boise State "will have made a conference-high" $3.7M from the Mountain West's bonus system, which "pays schools a specific amount for appearing on certain channels." Nine other schools "will have made anywhere from" $300,000 to $2.4M, while UNLV "will have made zero." Had the bonus money "been evenly distributed for two years," UNLV would have received $1.2M. UNLV AD Tina Kunzer-Murphy said, "It’s horrible. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. We’re no different. I’m concerned. Others are getting millions of dollars in this bonus system and we get nothing? It’s obviously a red flag." She added, "We have to get it changed, because it's not acceptable.

AttackCoog hit the bullseye in 2015.

It took a little time but I think unequal distribution was definitely a factor that created a festering boil that finally burst.

Also, I must say, the Conference name "The American" was such a perfect choice. The conference has been taking steps to eventually go West, and now - from a branding standpoint, with the Academies - the narrative of the conference will only get better.

Stop bumping old threads and starting useless new ones

How the heck did you find this 6 year old thread? I took a look at the top of the page and thought BC#1 was back from the great beyond.

Just giving props. No harm meant. I have no dog in this hunt.

It's obvious that Thompson has made a lot of mistakes (reference Norlander tweet), unequal revenue distribution being the most costly.
