I would think they would just like they want to renegotiate TV deals when conference membership changes. In this case it becomes even more important that we pass the MAC in share position.

No. Their share is going up about 30-40% under the new contract. They don't care. The distribution method was determined like this. They said we'll give you X to not sue us. You guys figure out how to split it. The AQ leagues had zero input on the distribution method. They didn't care then and don't now.

Wow is all I have to say. As far as I'm concerned the only team we should allow back in is NMSU.

LA TECH TIMELINE
Denial (this is a top conference with a good TV package and three BCS appearances!)

Anger (The commissioner blew it. Even though 16 schools got out while the getting was good since 1999, and Tech tried desperately to get out, the commissioner could have made it great despite none of us liking the others enough to stay)

Bargaining (If they will kick out ULM, and let us host all the championship events, give us an extra share of the money, and give us a special waiver to leave without notice... then we can join the Sun Belt, if not we'll be a power with Texas State, UTSA, and Sacramento State)

Depression (Kill the program, its not worth it. How can we cross all these bridges we've burned?)

Acceptance (Time to go play some games and compete for bowl games and conference tournaments our fans can drive to.)

Love the Timeline. Reposted on our board
