OSU, WSU Regain Control of Pac-12 Following Supreme Court Decision

The court's decision allows the two schools to block revenue distribution, raising concerns among departing schools.

Oregon State and Washington State have regained control of the Pac-12 board and the conference’s assets following a decision by the Washington Supreme Court.
The court declined to hear an appeal by the University of Washington and the Pac-12, lifting a temporary stay that had halted an original decision by the Whitman County (Wash.) Superior Court.
The Supreme Court decision means OSU and WSU again have control of the league, until a trial or depending on a settlement between the sides.
OSU and WSU’s football scheduling agreement with the Mountain West was given unanimous approval, but last week, the two schools blocked a planned distribution of millions of dollars to all member schools.
The 10 departing schools have expressed concern that OSU and WSU could withhold all 2023-24 conference revenue while they are still a part of the league.
