In 2021-22, the Pac-12 ranked last among Power Five conferences in payout at $37 million per school, compared to the Mountain West’s $4 million.
Nevarez said the MWC swinging and missing on potential additions would be a missed opportunity, but also stated that as of now, the conference would not dissolve. “I don’t know if disappointed is the word,” she said. “It would feel like a missed opportunity for sure.
