Back on November 16th, Gloria Nevarez and the Mountain West Conference pulled off a massive victory off the field. Actually, the first win of the week was in the courts, when Oregon State and Washington State were legally given the authority to make decisions for the PAC without the departing teams getting a say. This allowed the Beavers and Cougars the ability to form a scheduling partnership with the Mountain West for at least the 2023 and 2024 seasons. More importantly, those two teams gain access to the money ($400 million) tied to the PAC, which is lucrative considering all of the NCAA tourney unit money due to be paid out to them over the years.
