I’m going to simplify all the legal wrangling and antitrust jargon when it comes to the court case known as Pac-12 Conference v. Mountain West Conference and put it in easy-to-digest terms.
Time to pop some popcorn.
Discovery is coming.
As business-law attorney, Matthew Wand, told me, “While no side is ever fully without unfortunate emails, the motivations and internal discussions at the MW are more likely to be a big deal.”
Everyone knows Oregon State and Washington State were desperate when they agreed to the scheduling agreement with the MW for the 2024 football season. What we don’t know is how much Commissioner Gloria Nevarez’s conference plotted behind the scenes in what amounts to the ultimate elimination game.
That’s what this is about now.
