MWC is in breach of that contract so the MWC commish not only screwed Boise State, but the whole conference as a whole. He should be fired, the contract should be voided and get a commish that will get a contract with ESPN that is the same amount as AAC gets.

No, thats not how TV contracts work. Ask yourself why the AAC contract wasn't voided when UConn left? Or any of the Big east contracts voided when they lost members over the years? Hell the XII lost FOUR TEAMS and the TV contract wasn't voided!

The networks absolutely had the option to renegotiate, or in some circumstances void the deal. ESPN chooses not to as a policy (Clay Travis' explanation was that they didn't want to go to discovery about tortious interference in conferences' realignment decisions.) Fox and CBS-SN, CUSA's partners, slashed their contract after the 2011-13 realignment.

For ESPN, carrying the diminished Big 12 tier 1 at the same rate as the full Big 12 Tier 1 was an acceptable cost.

For the Mountain West TV contract, Boise State is a big part of the value of the deal. There are specific provisions for Fox to get Boise State home games and CBS to get Boise State road games. If the Mountain West can't deliver that, they're in breach. l
Where did I say they don't have the right to renegotiate? I'm saying they wont void the contract.
