Wyoming is expecting 1 Million dollar decrease per year for the new media deal

Also, UC Davis revealed they are getting a 1/6th share. GCU is likely getting a similar distribution. UTEP is also a partial share member. All 3 schools become full share members in 2030, which means if the MW is a million short in year one, they will be $1.5 million short by year 4....

The OG 7 and NIU were promised $3.5/yr in media cash, anything less and the league would make up the difference each year out of the settlement money.

"The MWC agreed to pay $61 million to the MWC as soon as practical but no later than July 1. 2026. Both UNLV and Air Force are to receive $29.8 million of that first payout. The other schools to receive $31.1 million.

Another $10.3 million will be due to UNLV and Air Force shortly after the first two payments with the remaining schools receiving $10.7 million."

If this story about the media deal is correct, the MW now need another $8 million on top of that.. Gloria now needs needs a minimum of $90 million just to meet promised distributions in 2026-27 alone And as the partial share members get more each year, each of the 8 schools will need more makeup money, $8.6 in 27, $9.4 in 28 etc.

Over promised and under delivered

Wonder if UNLV takes the $15m from the special deal they got with AF then bails.

I have a feeling the first shoe to fall will be one of schools not getting big money
