I saw this on the Sac. St. fan forum, by Souixfan.
"My understanding is that the Big Sky returns around $400 k/yr to each school. The Big West returns around $100 k/yr per school. If Sac State goes the football-only route, it would have to pay the Big Sky $10 k / yr like Poly and Davis do as an annual fee (which is a rather good deal on the surface). However, the Big Sky will actually benefit much more from Poly and Davis' membership, as the NCAA grants the Big Sky money based on scholarships granted, and with Poly's and Davis' football teams in the Big Sky, the Big Sky's reimbursements from the NCAA go up even higher.
Going to the Big West might not be the slam dunk financial decision that many think it is, as Sac State would lose at least 300 k/ yr and then have to deal with exit and entrance fees."
What do you mean when you say the Big Sky returns $400K.
