since non-attorneys were welcome to hold opinions, i offer as a layman that it would seem to depend on what the pac-12 bought for the price of the poaching penalty. it does indeed seem to me that the pac-12 is correct to assert that the poaching penalties are unreasonably high for the privilege of scheduling games. i believe there is a typical fee paid to a (visiting) school for playing. these fees are way higher.
