Does anyone know what the financial penalty to OSU and WSU for trying to poach MWC schools is? I hope it's substantial!

If they lose; I don't think they have the juice to try to rebuild the pac and they'll be forced to join the nwc. The football playoff is already setting up a vote to Revoke the pac12 autobid. If course, wsu's prez/ad could single handily veto. Interesting few weeks/months coming up.

I saw a report that a judge ruled in favor of OSU/WSU.

Wyokie said:Wazz and Oregon State heading to the West Coast Conference for all sports except football (obviously) for a 2-year period was a bit weird. Wonder if Oregon State's ego got in the way of a full merger with the MW. The feeling I got is that Wazzu was actually O.K. with the idea of joining the MW. But that's just a feeling and I've been known to be wrong.

Seems like this gives them time to pick apart the MWC. If I were going to force their hand I sure wouldn't bail them out for a year!WYO1016 said:LanderPoke said:Nevarez needs to be beaten for that scheduling agreement. What was she thinking??
My guess is she's playing hardball with them. Saying something along the lines of "join the conference or don't". They want their cake and to eat it too. Right now the only sure thing is that they'll play football in the MW next season, and be in the WCC for everthing else. I'd guess that Nevarez is working on a deal to make them full members of the conference starting in the fall of 2025.

Thanks for posting. Very wise contract drafting for the MwC. These contractual PAC fees of $10 million for school is in addition to the exit fees of $5 million per school. I see no way it is economically feasible for the PAC to poach more than 2 MWC schools (and who else would join that conference).Itsux2beaewe said:LanderPoke said:Does anyone know what the financial penalty to OSU and WSU for trying to poach MWC schools is?
