. . . OK
First, why would CUSA agree to that . .
Second, what if the WAC doesn’t return to FBS football? (It’s a goal/it ain’t a given).
I see you went to Texas State so I’ll type slower.
One, an under the table agreement implies CUSA doesn’t know about the deal.
Second, again implied NMSU doesn’t come back if there is no WAC FBS.
And I kid about the typing slower.
OK . . that’s fair . . First time I read through it, I went too fast.
I thought that NMSU got a lousy deal from The Sun belt Conference. I, personally, didn’t like the way it went down. Now technically, The SBC did stand by the terms as stipulated in the Contract between themselves and NMSU. But again, both parties knew and agreed to the terms when the contract was signed. (All above board).
I would hope that NMSU is better than what you’re suggesting.
Which BTW, I still see problems with . . . Like, What if UTEP doesn’t want to come with them to the WAC
. . and then who pays the Exit Fees for leaving CUSA? Tarleton? and are you gonna pay UTEP’s exit fees should they decide to come to the WAC?
I don’t think that subterfuge, and under the table agreements are really the way to go. . .
IF CUSA extends an invite to NMSU, it would be as a full member, and it would give both parties what they’re looking for, which really makes what you’ve suggested unnecessary. IMO
