Is this the beginning of the end?
Boise State asserts in the lawsuit that Thompson met with president Marlene Tromp and athletic director Curt Apsey in early December, noting that Boise State was “the driving force behind the new, and much more favorable and profitable, deal with FOX.”
When the Mountain West held its board of directors meeting Dec. 15 and 16, Boise State believed the conference would continue to support not just keeping the additional $1.8 million outlay but also increasing it proportional to the new deal.
The lawsuit alleges that Thompson and consultant Dean Jordan presented eight alternatives, none of which mentioned increasing the bonus. Instead, it states, all eight included different methods for phasing out and ending the additional money agreement.
