While Oregon State and Washington State have controlling interest, they must act in the fiduciary interest of the entire group and cannot withhold money owed to the departing members. The two schools plan to enter into a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West for the 2024 season, with the option to add members or merge with another conference in the future.
