Oregon State, Washington State Gain Full Control of Pac-12 Amid Conference Departures

Legal victory allows remaining schools to determine future of Pac-12, departing schools plan to appeal

Oregon State and Washington State have gained full control of the Pac-12 board of directors, following a ruling by a Washington state judge.
The two schools are the only remaining members of the Pac-12 after the other 10 schools announced they would be leaving for other conferences next year.
The ruling allows Oregon State and Washington State to make decisions about the future of the Pac-12, including financial decisions and potential partnerships with other conferences.
The 10 departing schools have expressed disappointment with the decision and plan to appeal to the Washington Supreme Court.
The decision comes as both schools face a significant drop in revenue as the Pac-12 loses its Power Five status.
