I don't think you have your story correct. The mountain west did not try to increase the poaching penalty. I have only heard the mountain West tried to increase the scheduling alliance fee, but that is all hearsay. The poaching penalty is firm and written into the contract.
Never-the-less the Pac-2 schools DID SIGN the schedule agreement that had the poaching penalties in print with the MWC to get games this year the MWC has HONORED... The MWC was willing to allow them to also MERGE with the MWC... Despite the gracious gesture the Pac-2 schools POACHED five MWC schools anyway like the weasels they are after their attempt to poach four AAC schools FAILED... UTSA (Texas-San Antonio), Memphis, Tulane, and South Florida (USF)... Yes, WEASELS... Pathetic shenanigans and soap opera courtroom drama when they should have just MERGED peacefully without spending hundreds of millions for NO GAIN significantly... The Pac-2 schools didn't even want the fifth MWC school Utah State until after their AAC poaching failed... Attention Pac-7, New Mexico State is a FBS Division 1 school in the Mountain time zone most likely willing to be poached which will solve your eighth full time school problem to be recognized by the NCAA... Apparently the Pac-7 is too great to consider NMSU...
MWC needs 2 Hawaii is football only
MWC brought in UTEP and Hawaii for all sports played by the MWC... So MWC is up to 8 full time schools... Pac-12* is still at 7 full time schools...
