Three schools leaving the Mountain West have filed an updated lawsuit against the conference and commissioner Gloria Nevarez for allegedly withholding millions of dollars and deceiving them about a plan to accelerate the addition of Grand Canyon University, according to multiple reports.

The three — Boise State, Colorado State and Utah State — are three of the five schools set to depart for the Pac-12 in July 2026. The other two are Fresno State and San Diego State, who are not a part of this lawsuit filed in a Denver District Court.

The five schools are challenging $150 million in exit and poaching fees dating to their decision to leave the Mountain West in 2024. The Pac-12 is challenging those poaching fees in a case filed in the Northern District of California.
