The Bobcat Nation

I don't see a topic regarding this. So, I thought I'd start a thread on it.

I saw in the paper the day after the Griz won their first round game that the Big Sky Conference makes something like $1.6 million for the victory. This money is to be split evenly amongst the conference members for the next five years. So, our school will receive $140,000 some thousand dollars next year and $130,000 some thousand for the next four after UNC gets to collect their check for the last four years.

Wow! Now I know why conferences such as the Big East cry so much when they don't get enough teams into the big dance. It's all about the $$$$$$$$

Hey Griz, my thanks, nice paycheck!

Minus expenses. Shared equally minus expenses. So the Griz need to learn how to pull a Texas. (or any other big Conf. school) Texas will charter a plane for 300 big boosters and fly them out and put them up in a hotel ect ect ect. Collect a booster checks (that they don't share), then take the 1.6 subtract travel expenses of 600K and divide the 1 million equally. Not fair; but that's what happens when you let accountants run the world.

This shows why it is important to have good records, and wins against strong programs to put yourself in a position to be a 10-12 seed. The opportunity for wins increases as does the payout. Did I read the article right that if the Griz had lost there would have been no money.

That's right Teton...the last win was Weber's in 1999 and the cash from that win runs out this year....

On behalf of the Griz, you are all welcome.

Thanks Griz! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!! We'll pay you back in the next few years when we make the big dance.

You may want to hire a coach first and them get a point guard.
