Pac-12 and Mountain West Legal Drama Ends | Fayetteville News

The Pac-12 and Mountain West have officially settled their legal feud over exit fees and school poaching, clearing the way for Boise State, Colorado State, Utah State, San Diego State, and Fresno State to join the Pac-12 this fall. The drama began when these schools sued over a clause demanding massive departure fees—potentially $55 million if multiple teams left—and escalated as courts weighed in. After months of legal back-and-forth, including a judge denying a motion to dismiss, an agreement was reached in May and is now finalized. With the money issues resolved, all parties can refocus on athletics and fans. The Pac-12 gears up for its new era, while the Mountain West moves forward with new additions like UTEP and Hawaii to fill the void.
