Washington State and Oregon State announced a lawsuit against the Pac-12 on Friday seeking control over what's left of the conference, including its assets.
The programs are the final two members of the Pac-12 after the other 10 members announced their departures for other conferences.
."According to the Pac-12 constitution and bylaws, if a member school gives notice of withdrawal, they automatically cease to be a member of the Pac-12 board of directors. Therefore, Oregon State and Washington State now constitute the entire membership of the Pac-12 board of directors." Per the statement, the lawsuit specifically seeks"to confirm the governance structure of the conference, gain access to business information and protect the conference’s assets." It also seeks a restraining order to “prevent the Pac-12 from permitting departing members of the Pac-12 board of directors from meeting and attempting to take any action regarding the status or governance of the conference in ways that preclude OSU and WSU from potentially rebuilding the conference.
