Part of the settlement will probably be that the MWC can keep most or all of what they withheld from the departing schools. Yet, how much has been withheld, and is it equitable to each of the schools? I read somewhere that the total was 65 million. How much was withheld from each school to come up with that amount? I am sure Boise State contributed the highest amount. What if the exit fees are settled at 11 million per school, but Boise State had more than that withheld, and other schools had less? How do you think this will be resolved?

The SunBelt requires 24 months of notice, the MWC requires a full-year cycle, the AAC 27 months, and CUSA 14 months. If any CUSA schools wanted to exit without additional exit penalties, they would have to have given notice by May 1, 2026. This most likely means, unless some major shakeup happens, 2027 (and most likely 2028), the Pac-12 will have the same lineup as 2026.
