"Bringing this matter to a resolution," not "this matter is resolved.

Regardless, Boise STate won, the haters-and-losers caucus of the MWC lost.

They just postponed the fight. What they voted on before was unnecessary. Its 6 years down the road.

They had the initial skirmish. The loser-and-haters came at Boise, tried to muscle Boise. Boise called them on it and they backed down.

There will probably be a rematch in 6 years. But this confrontation happened, the MWC tried to buffalo Boise State into accepting the end of the Reentry Agreement, and Boise stood up to them successfully.

It was bad timing for the anti-Boise contingent to bring this out into the open when they did. The schools probably felt some pressure to confirm that they were going forward with the new Fox/CBS contract, and dropped the dispute for now to reassure the TV networks. The rest of the MWC will hope that Boise is in a weaker position a few years down the road.

Maybe----but its not like they didnt know the timing or the situation going into the decision. Despite that---two schools were willing to take the dispute to an even higher level by voting to end the deal immediately. Regardless of the outcome---the one thing we can take away from the incident is that there is wide spread tremendous resentment of the special Boise deal roiling just beneath the surface in the MW---and that will continue to fester regardless of any unity preaching joint statement that gets issued in the aftermath of this dispute.

Might be that only one or two MWC members feel really strongly about this, and the rest went along with it initially, but backed off (against the votes of the one or two who still feel strongly about it).

And, the money might not even be the biggest issue. It's easy to imagine San Diego State, for example, being more irritated about Boise being guaranteed better TV exposure than the rest of the league gets, and SDSU would feel more entitled than the rest of the MWC to complain, because SDSU has a better football team than most of them.

Compare the 2019 TV for Boise State and SDSU to see why SDSU might want either better TV exposure for themselves or less for Boise:
