Pac-12 Hotline: What's next for the Mountain West with the Pac-12 imploding — expansion, contraction or both?
Gloria Nevarez took charge of the Mountain West on New Year’s Day and spent approximately six months formulating a strategic plan to power the conference into the next era of college sports. She’s scheduled to present the blueprint to her membership later this month.
If Stanford and Cal are able to join either the ACC or Big Ten — resolution could come this week — then WSU and OSU are expected to seek membership in the Mountain West. The conference is near-and-dear to her heart. She grew up in the Bay Area, has a law degree from Cal and spent years on the Pac-12’s executive staff under former commissioner Larry Scott.
The exit fee for joining the Pac-12 in time for the 2025 season drops to $17 million — a reasonable sum for any “aspirational” Mountain West school.Nevarez works with a six-person subcommittee to constantly evaluate membership options. This much is clear, whether it welcomes Washington State and Oregon State for 2024 or seeks to replace schools that move to the rebuilt Pac-12 in 2025: The Mountain West will be proactive.
