Have to wonder if the $1 million payout for leaving the Summit League will have any impact on the faculty contract talks ???

I was wondering if that was part of the "negotiations" that Bubb was talking about. I doubt the Summit League members would allow us to just take off without paying the "late fee", but if we can get the OVC schools to each chip in a bit, we can knock down what we have to pay quite a bit.

Yeah I imagine the OVC is maybe paying 1/4 or maybe a 1/2 and then WIU foots the rest.
