That's not what Boise's MWC membership agreement says.

Boise chose the MWC based on that agreement. If the MWC wants to void the agreement, then the MWC is going to face a claim for damages in the amount of money that Boise would have made as an AAC member from 2013 to now, based on the AAC-ESPN contracts. (Minus the travel subsidies Boise would have paid to the MWC, minus the money the MWC did pay to Boise)

Mountain West rescinds decision to end Boise State’s TV bonus for home football games

What doesn’t change, however, is the basic dispute. Boise State will continue to receive $1.8 million per year in addition to what everyone else in the conference gets through 2025-26. And the rest of the conference will continue to fight for equitable distribution after that.

Call me crazy, but I do not see the MWC giving Boise State extra cash after 2025-26. So Boise St will either jump to the BIG12,PAC12, AAC, or Indy.... Or share equal revenue Starting in 2026-27... Going to be interesting

Or they'lll go to court with a clearly written contract and win.

OHH... So the Mountain West gave Boise State a lifetime contract...... Nope not buying it... Boise State has notice, they can either shut up and color or they can leave in 2026-27... The choice is theirs to make... A lot can change in six years. Maybe Boise State football declines, or somebody else, like San Diego State or Colorado State, dramatically improves, so the Broncos don’t enter the next negotiation period with the same leverage. Maybe the conference has new leadership. Maybe Boise loves working with Fox (the network apparently wants to make Boise’s home game against Florida State a Big Noon Kickoff event…but at 10 AM local). But if we see more of the same dynamics over the next few years…why should Boise stay in the league?

Hypothetically, the Broncos could join the American, restore a working relationship with ESPN (which has unquestionably been beneficial for Boise State), and make more money. Or, depending on what happens with the College Football Playoff, what’s stopping them from deciding to play a more national schedule and go independent? If BYU can get potentially $10M+ annually from ESPN, couldn’t Boise State at least get close to what they’re making now, especially if they secure a few more P5 home games?
