There has been no resolution to the conflict between the PAC12 and Mountain West. Since the mediation process failed to resolve the issues, the two lawsuits, one about poaching fees and the other about exit fees, are headed to trial in September.
On the line is about $150 million in fees that the PAC12 and schools changing conferences could owe to the Mountain West. Losing both cases would be damaging to the PAC12 and the new members but they would survive. If the Mountain West loses, it doesn't have the money it promised to UNLV and Air Force to stay in the conference, meaning both are likely to leave. UNLV's finances are in bad shape and they need the extra money, making them an easy poaching target if their extra share vaporizes.
