Four schools are set to announce as early as Thursday that they plan to depart the Mountain West to join the Pac-12, sources confirmed to ESPN.Mountain West bylaws require departing schools to pay an exit fee of roughly $18 million with two years notice, which is what the four schools expect to pay, a source said.
Once these four additions are confirmed, the conference would still need to add two more to reach the NCAA minimum requirement. The conference is in the first of a two-year grace period afforded by NCAA bylaws to exist below the minimum in the case of departures.
