From the Tucson news paper. Total cost and amount owed to the MWC is $115 mill.
There are two main components:
• The exit fees Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State owe the Mountain West. So long as they give official notice of departure at least one year in advance, the fee is about $18 million per school (one year of conference revenue distributions).
• The poaching penalty that was written into the 2024 scheduling agreement between the Pac-12 and Mountain West and equates to $43 million for the four schools combined.https://tucson.com/news/state-regio...cfa4fbce11.html#tracking-source=mp-in-article
In all, the Pac-12 and its new members are staring at approximately $115 million, or $28.8 million per school.

I'm still inclined to believe it was planned pretty well.
You disrupt MWC. Get top targets.
Then turn attention to 'bigger' fish.
If you get them great.
If not you are out nothing because you still pretty much have your pick of MWC teams you want to add.
You only need 2 more.
I think if Memphis falls through,
UNLV and possibly USU are in play now.
I totally understand your point.
I just think even if PAC hits road block with Memphis there was contingency plans in place.
