Squabble over exit fee leaves Utah Valley’s status uncertain for WAC tournaments | News

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The start of the Western Athletic Conference tournaments was thrown into uncertainty Tuesday, the eve of both the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, when the league threatened to leave out Utah Valley over a $1 million payment it says the school hasn’t made.

WAC officials said in a statement posted on social media Tuesday that Utah Valley hadn’t complied with a judge’s order directing the school to place $1 million in escrow with the court, an amount equivalent to its exit fee for leaving the conference. WAC officials said the league’s board of directors instructed the commissioner to plan for the possibility that Utah Valley wouldn’t play in either tournament if the fee isn’t paid because “it would be a member not in good standing.” This creates the possibility the men’s WAC Tournament could begin without its top seed Wednesday at Las Vegas. Utah Valley had earned the top seed by winning the league’s regular-season championship. Utah Valley was seeded fourth in the women’s tournament beginning Wednesday, also in Las Vegas. WAC officials said they would release

Utah State men’s basketball were well-represented in this year’s All-Mountain West awards. The regular season champions accounted for three total All-MW selections, three individual awards with an overall tally of seven honors given to five Aggie players and coaches. Mason Falslev led the way by being named Mountain West Player of the Year, which he paired with being named All-MW First Team and All-Defensive Team. Along with Falslev, three of his teammates and his head coach were honored. Jerrod Calhoun was named Coach of the Year and junior forward Karson Templin earned Sixth Man of the Year. Senior guard MJ Collins was named Second Team All-MW and graduate point guard Drake Allen was an honorable mention. Falslev was the Mountain West’s best all-around player this season. He recorded five games of 20+ points, four games of 5+ assists and two games of 10+ rebounds. No other player in the league matched all three marks. Whatever Utah State needed Falslev to be, a rebounder, scorer, defender, passer, he was able to do it at a high level.
