The contract includes the term “Outside Date,” which refers to the expiration of the deal. Article IV, entitled “Term; Termination,” includes the following passage:
“For purposes of this Agreement, the ‘Outside Date’ shall be August 1, 2025. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if MWC and Pac-12 mutually agree in a signed writing on or prior to September 1, 2024, the ‘Outside Date’ may be extended to August 1, 2026.”
The Pac-12 schools and the Mountain West are expected to let their Sunday deadline pass without agreeing to extend the football scheduling partnership into the 2025 season, according to sources with knowledge of the discussions.
