according to Times, Tech has two million entry fee into CUSA. Didn't know you had to pay entry fee to join conference. Do all conferences require?

I believe it will be taken out of our revenues the first several years in the conference.
We had one to go into the WAC too.
I think the big question will be do we have a fee to exit the WAC?
Where have you been all these years? Seriously?
This is still the best deal on the planet!!!
HD
didn't indicate it wasn't a good deal. just didn't know that schools like Texas A&M and Missouri had to pay entry fees.
To quote LFR...................."Yep".
The San Antonio and Miami newspapers reported weeks ago about the $2 million entry fee.
The real question is, "What happened to the game at Kansas?"Due to the number of schools in C-USA, Tech's 2013 football schedule is still in flux, although home games against Army and Lamar are likely to remain. The Bulldogs are slated to play at Houston and at home against Southern Miss, but the latter contest will now be a conference contest.
It is time for RealityCheck to step in and estimate what our approximate annual CUSA payout will be vs our annual WAC payout. Saying that our first year of CUSA payout will be higher than the final year's payout in the WAC doesn't reveal much due to all of the realignment related exit and entrance fees.
RC, can you please roughly "ballpark" our approximate gross annual WAC revenue vs our approximate gross annual CUSA revenue? If you care to estimate a net revenue comparison of previous WAC vs new CUSA that would be nice, albeit difficult to estimate the travel expense delta.
Thanks.

The last I heard we don't have an exit fee.
[QUOTE=Beaver-Dog;1233239]That will be good otherwise that would be the only positive NMSU and Idaho would get with all the others leaving.
There is no WAC exit fee, but Tech will get no WAC revenues other than football for 2012-2013. Tech is looking at getting well in excess of $2 million this year in WAC revenues with a 5-way revenue split other than football and with Tech getting a $400K bowl share. Tech got just under $2 million in 2010-2011. That figure will be more like the $500K range with a bowl bid in 2012-2013 ($3 million with a BC$ bid).
All of the eight public C-USA schools reported conference revenues of between $3.0M and $4.4M in 2009-2010 except for Memphis (penalized due to the loss of basketball revenue units). Future C-USA conference revenues will depend largely on TV revenue since NCAA basketball revenues are dropping dramatically. Until the TV contract details are known, it isn't easy to estimate what annual revenues will be.
Thanks for the estimates RC. That $3M for a BC$ bid sure would launch Tech athletics to a new level financially heading into CUSA. Hopefully the TV contract will be a boon regardless.
Probably just bad journalism. Have I mentioned that I think the Houston series will end after this year?:icon_wink:
