Crazy that Gonzaga earned each WCC school $876k with their tourny run last year

But the schools have no obligation to reinvest that money in their programs to make the conference better as a whole. It is completely reasonable for Gonzaga to ask: What are we getting out of carrying this conference?

I'm sure the MWC would happily institute some sort of unequal NCAA Tournament revenue distribution for Gonzaga if they were willing to join the league.

It's a reasonable request by Gonzaga but one I assume the small athletic programs of the WCC can't live with.

I think you're right about that, but it's in the presentation.

True. The demands need to come from the WCC, not from Gonzaga.

Considering most WCC teams would never get beyond the first round

I'd take it a step further and say 100% beyond the first round

And Gonzaga thinks they will get that in the MWC?

Boise got it for football. But even if they don't, there is a more competitive league to compensate.

What they actually want is a commitment to use the basketball money that zaga

i don't know how they are gonna compel schools to do that.

3/13/18 9:07am

They can't. And the other schools have said as much. Hence, zaga might leave.

Although, if the threat to leave is real and imminent, Zags might get something

Thanks for clarifying that. I always thought it meant equal investment, as well.
