On the women's side, the sports are basketball, cross country, outdoor track and field, soccer, volleyball, golf, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, gymnastics and rowing. Many of the financial details were redacted in the document, but it was disclosed the media rights deal runs for five years, through June 30, 2031. Washington State and Oregon State also have enhanced voting rights. Within that same realm, the article also notes any new members to the league must get two-thirds approval and with WSU and OSU both in favor. "It appears as if Gonzaga will get a full revenue share despite not sponsoring football, although several sections of 'the Gonzaga Provisions' are redacted," reads the article. All revenue will not be shared equally, as was the case in the old Pac-12. As stated in the story, "schools that earn revenue from appearances in the NCAA Tournament and/or College Football Playoff will get 50 percent of that net payment with the rest being equally distributed among the league's other teams." [LIST] [*]"The membership agreement states a school leaving for a Power 4 conference must give at least one year's notice and with an exit fee equal to two times the Pac-12's average conference distribution; that "A4 Exit Fee" could be lowered based on when the exit takes place." [*]"A school can withdraw without penalty to join a Power 4 school upon the expiration of the grant of media rights, but if it joins a non-Power 4 conference upon that expiration, it would owe the Pac-12 three times the average conference distribution with more than a year's notice and six times that fee with less than a year's notice." [*]"A school can ask to withdraw just its football and/or basketball program while remaining in the Pac-12 for the rest of its sports but would lose its Board of Directors vote after that request, which must be approved by the remaining schools."
