Three Mountain West schools file lawsuit over withheld funds, accelerated Grand Canyon entry
The Mountain West Conference is facing a lawsuit from three of its member schools - Boise State, Colorado State, and Utah State. The lawsuit alleges that the conference withheld funds from the schools and accelerated the entry of Grand Canyon University into the conference. The schools claim that the conference's actions have caused them significant financial harm, as they have been denied their rightful share of conference revenue. The lawsuit also alleges that the accelerated entry of Grand Canyon University was done without proper consultation with the existing members. The schools are seeking monetary damages and a court order to prevent the conference from further actions that they believe are detrimental to their interests. The lawsuit represents a significant rift within the conference, and it remains to be seen how the dispute will be resolved.
