Very unlikely. The MWC has no money to pay their exit fees. 10M in exit fees, for probably around the same money in a TV contract plus less exposure. Make no mistake the new AAC is pure trash, but so is the MWC.I'm thinking that SMU, Tulsa, and Wichita State may be on the phone with the MW as we speak trying to arrange an agreement where the MW helps them pay their exit fees.

Incumbent AAC members are still expected to average about $7 million annually over the course of the current ESPN television deal, which runs through 2031-32. <-

-> The new schools also offer the current crew of football schools – Temple, Memphis, Tulane, USF, East Carolina, Navy, Tulsa and SMU – an entree into some of the richest recruiting areas in the country – Houston, San Antonio, greater Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, Charlotte and Birmingham. <-
-> There are still some final details to work out. There is expected to be a significant boost in television money for the six schools, but they are not expected to get the same share of the TV revenue that the established eight schools currently get.
Conference USA schools currently receive less than a million dollars annually in television revenue. The amount they will receive is still being finalized, but the television revenue will be more than $2 million at the start of the deal and rise significantly from there. Incumbent AAC members are still expected to average about $7 million annually over the course of the current ESPN television deal, which runs through 2031-32. <-

Temple really doesn’t have a basketball home with 14 in the A10 unless they add two or drop someone.I’m a little out of the loop on these things - would some sort of scheduling alliance be beneficial for the two programs if indy?

WSU would be a great partner
But that conference makes crap
$4,500,000 divided by 14 sucks 16 is worse .
