By my reckoning, this is $3.75m per school if Hawaii is in the deal, $4.1m per school if not, either way even more than the very good $3.5m that SBJ reported last month, which some AAC fans claimed was surely exaggerated.

I think any talk of Boise or anyone else going to the AAC has vanished.

I also admit to being wrong - I thought that the long delay in getting the deal done was bad news, and meant a bad deal, for the MWC.

Considering it’s a shorter time period that pay is probably more competitive than the contract averages would suggest Vs the AAC deal. Remember almost all these deals are escalating year after year so the fall 2020-spring 2026 years would average less than the published averages for the AAC deal since the heavier 2026-2030+ years won’t be included.
