The schools are seeking clarity from the court on the makeup of the Pac-12 board.
It has been 25 days since Oregon State and Washington State began legal proceedings against the Pac-12, and it could be another 25, if not many more, until the process concludes.Here’s a Hotline guide to the lawsuit brought by the two remaining schools in Whitman Co. Superior Court.The Cougars and Beavers are the only Pac-12 schools that aren’t fleeing the conference next summer.
However, a series of steps will unfold before that point, and the sides could settle before the hearing if the 10 outgoing schools determine the process could produce embarrassing documents.We are not aware of a similar case, in which the collapse of a college conference led the remaining schools to file a lawsuit against the departing schools for control of the board.
“The meaning of the bylaws hasn’t changed just because more members have decided to leave,” Eric MacMichael, the attorney for WSU and OSU, told the court.If the 10 departing schools are entitled to board seats, they could vote as a bloc in a manner that harms WSU and OSU. For instance, the 10 outgoing schools could vote to dissolve the conference, leaving the Cougars and Beavers without access to the assets and with no choice but to join the Mountain West.
