OSU, WSU ask court to prevent departing Pac-12 schools from standing in way of rebuilding conference

Oregon State and Washington State on Friday filed a complaint in Washington state court against the Pac-12 and Commissioner George Kliavkoff, seeking to prevent departing members from getting in the way of their efforts to rebuild the disintegrating conference.

The breach of bylaws complaint was filed in Whitman County. It requests a temporary restraining order that would keep departing members of the Pac-12 board of directors from meeting next week and taking any action regarding the status or governance of the conference, according to a news release from Oregon State and Washington State.

The Pac-12 declined request for comment through spokesman Andrew Walker.

The two schools, which are seeking a declarative judgment from the court, said Kliavkoff recently asked members of the board to meet Wednesday to vote on a “go forward governance approach.” Oregon State and Washington State contend that by announcing their intent to leave, the other schools forfeited a right to vote on conference matters.

Give the Beavs and the Cougs millions in compensation from those teams departing for the B10, B12, and ACC. They deserve it.

The takeover of college sports by the media giants is an insult to atheletes, students, alumni, and others associated with a once-proud conference. Portals and N.I.L.s are two more nails in the coffin.
