But the performance bonuses that they wrote at the outset were too volatile for Boise State's liking. A fixed bonus just for being Boise State is not to the liking of SDSU, and likely a few other schools as well.

Somewhere in the middle of the negotiating range is a performance bonus that is more stable from year to year for budgeting purposes without just being "you get more money because that was the price of getting both you and SDSU back X years ago."

The current bonus would be especially irksome to SDSU, since the original deal was basically a buy-one-get-one-free.
