8. The Pac-12’s lawsuit against the Mountain West over the poaching penalty moves forward after a key March 25 hearing in the Northern District of California.​

Eventually, the process concludes with a negotiated settlement — university presidents loathe court trials — that results in a significant reduction from the $55 million owed to the Mountain West under the terms of the scheduling agreement.

The development prompts UNLV and Air Force to reconsider their futures, with the Rebels jumping to the Pac-12 and the Falcons to the AAC.

 
Rumors of PAC overtures to UNLV would make sense in this context. If the article is accurate then the time is right for the PAC to extend an olive branch to UNLV with a sweetened deal and for UNLV to look at its options before risking an adverse judicial decision. That’s the whole point of litigation… force one side or another (or both) into a position where they’re more likely to settle.

They need us as badly, if not more, than we need them. I would negotiate them paying our departure fees or if we depart to a P4 conference then our fees are GREATLY reduced. Doesn't make sense to pay two different departure fees.
