I'd venture a guess that Boise would win a suit if MWC tried to have the rest of the MWC on TV and them sold online only.

Or they would just get the **** out of that clown conference.

BTW. Suits are won or lost on the terms in the contract. The terms are pretty unambiguous. But I think the conference would prefer a negotiated equitable model for all schools including Boise. So they have six years to figure it out or Boise can be subjected to MWC leverage or choose to leave.

Contracts aren't forever.

They pretty much are. https://www.forbes.com/sites/monteburke/...033ede4f0b

When the NBA absorbed the ABA in 1976, they paid off the owner of one unwanted franchise with $3M. They paid off the other with a deal for a share of TV revenue in perpetuity. Those owners collected checks from the NBA until 2015, when they accepted a $500 million settlement for their NBA rights.

Quote:See the formation of the MWC. If the MWC wants to negotiate the TV deal together in 6 years, Boise can accept it or leave.

Nope. The Mountain West signed the contract, they can live up to it. If you're talking about an airport meeting, then the MWC schools can live without an NCAA autobid for 8 years.

The initial TV contract is over. Totally different situation than the NBA buying out the franchise rights.
