"Washington Supreme Court Halts Pac-12 Control Ruling"

The Washington Supreme Court has stayed a lower court's ruling that granted control of the Pac-12 to Oregon State and Washington State, keeping in place a temporary restraining order that requires the conference to act unanimously. The court will decide whether to retain the case for review or transfer it to the state's court of appeals, with an accelerated briefing schedule concluding by December 12. The decision ensures that all 12 current members of the Pac-12 will have an equal voice in determining the distribution and utilization of revenue while the court considers arguments. Oregon State and Washington State expressed disappointment and will seek court review of the commissioner's decision.
