I suspect the MWC is bluffing with all this Digital talk stuff...

We didn't invest in our digital network to bluff.

You mean the the MWC network the original MWC schools set up, or you’ve invested further since then? Also, I’d be shocked if MWC newbies like San Jose St have invested the millions needed for digital like say the front range schools and UNLV and SDSU have.

Not the mtn.
The digital network we started in 2013. Conference gave $1 million in help to each school for broadcasting equipment...including SJSU. The network has been strong getting stronger each year.

Well basically the conference said we are going to give you the normal distribution we make but we are earmarking $1 million for this purpose so you can tell the fans the conference is paying for it and maybe we don't trust you to prioritize this unless its earmarked.
