40 Scheduling Notes Signal a New Era for 2026 College Football

Pat Forde maps the 2026 college football schedule, noting a move toward nine league games for the Power 5 (with ACC exceptions) and wide variance in nonconference play, which cuts traditional scheduling gripes but seeds intrigue with marquee Sept. 12 showdowns, the near-elimination of Cupcake weekends, a blockbuster Nov. 7 TV slate, ASU’s London trip, and Pac-12’s new flex-week finale. The piece also weighs brutal road-heavy slates (Ohio State, Michigan, LSU), easier paths (Texas Tech), and quirks like NIU in the Mountain West and Sacramento State’s MACtion, all shaping playoff positioning and season-long narratives.

Pac-12 debuts a new era with nine full-time members

Two years after realignment chaos erased the old Pac-12, the revamped conference launches with nine full-time members—Washington State, Oregon State, Gonzaga, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State and Texas State—with Gonzaga the lone non-football school. It adds 12 affiliate programs across five sports and will host its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena for the next two seasons, while aiming to compete for the Group of Six CFP bid in football and to be a top mid-major in men’s basketball.

MW-Pac-12 settlement reshapes payouts for UNLV, Nevada and MW schools

After a 20-month dispute, the Mountain West and Pac-12 settled two lawsuits, ending the court battle. The MW is projected to receive roughly $82.5 million from its media-rights deal, distributed as about $20.2 million each for UNLV and Air Force; about $9.5 million for Nevada, New Mexico, San Jose State and Wyoming; and about $4.1 million for Hawaii, with none for the incoming members. The agreement preserves media rights through 2032, could let UNLV regain its rights if it joins a Power 4 conference, relocates conference offices to Las Vegas, and keeps MW men’s basketball tournaments at Thomas & Mack through 2032. Rather than a courtroom showdown, the two leagues will now compete on the court and field for West supremacy starting next season.

Pac-12 and Mountain West clinch in-principle deal to end exit/poaching fee dispute

The Pac-12 and Mountain West have reached an in‑principle settlement to resolve civil lawsuits over exit and poaching fees tied to defections, with final terms due by June 2. Although details aren’t public yet, the fees are expected to be discounted from the more than $150 million initially claimed, with per‑school estimates around $10 million for the five Mountain West schools that joined the Pac-12. The resolution comes as the Pac-12 prepares to relaunch for the 2026‑27 year with eight football members and nine in basketball, following a long period of litigation and negotiations.
