just saw that the UofW filed a lawsuit in Whatcom County to quash the lawsuit filed by OSU/WSU in another Washington county

https://theathletic.com/5026697/2023/11/02/washington-wazzu-oregon-state-pac-12-motion/

the foundational legal argument OSU/WSU are making hinges on Kliavkoff's claim that USC/UCLA were "removed from the Pac-12 Board" when they announced they were leaving the conference. Unfortunately for OSU/WSU there are no legal documents showing the two schools were removed from the board. And, the bylaws specifically state no school can legally exit the conference, and the GOR, until that school mactuallyfiles a formal written notice of exit....and no school can file that notice until August, 2024. Further, both schools have claimed they didn't challenge any assertion of exclusion because the only business in front of the board was the next media deal of which they weren't going to particpate

" Oregon State and Washington State have argued that all 10 departing schools are no longer board members, since they have announced their departures, effective Aug. 1, 2024. The filing cited past comments from Kliavkoff that USC and UCLA were removed from the board when they announced their Big Ten plans last year and a text message on Aug. 4 where Kliavkoff claimed the league had only four board members left (OSU, WSU, Cal and Stanford).

The UW filing on Thursday claims that, despite comments by Kliavkoff, USC and UCLA were never actually removed from the board. It also claims all members long ago agreed that current-year revenues are shared evenly among all active members, and that OSU and WSU can do whatever they want with money after that.

“Their lawsuit stems from a flawed interpretation of the Pac-12 bylaws, which were drafted and ratified by all 12 schools to ensure an equal revenue distribution for every member who remains in the conference throughout the current media rights deal, which ends in summer 2024,” the group statement said. “All 10 member schools adhered to these bylaws, and we are resolute in protecting our rights to participate in Pac-12 Conference governance through the end of this season."

with 2 different lawsuits filed, in two different state courts, unless an agreement is reached or this is moved to federal court, this legal battle could probably advance all the way thru state appellate courts and end up in the state supreme court. And that could take a couple of years...which OSU/WSU don't have

right now, the crux of the matter appears to be that OSU/WSU want to control all the Pac-12 revenues for the 2023-24 sports calendar. The 10 departing schools appear willing to fight that, and fight it as as far as necessary.

the biggest danger for OSU/WSU is if they lose in court, and the Pac-12 board meets with all 12 schools present, the 10 departing schools can vote to dissolve the conference and split all current and future revenue equally.
 
Man, the screwing continues. Our Beavers' really getting pounded!
 
The big heavies gonna take over 2nd half and smash mouths -- on both sides!!
 
Kind of looked like an offensive PI on that play that set up the TD for Colorado. Funny they are not showing much of that play.
 
Unfortunately they still have to play both Washington and Oregon and odds are slim they will win either game.

$5 million a year seems really cheap for him.

Especially with openings most likely at schools like USC, UCLA and Michigan St.

And no, I'm not trying to troll you guys. Beavers are my 2nd favorite team, one of my good friends from high school was QB 1 for OSU. But somehow you have to get him more money. With so much turbulence and unknowns facing OSU sports, he's the best thing you have.

It's going to be a problem for sure.
I'm not so sure I trust you just yet but I'll try to take you seriously on this one. Dogs are a bit fickle and they are food motivated most of the time.

Read through this thread, during game time I cheer for the Beavers.

Where do you rank Smith as a coach?

Top 50, he's paid right.

Top 25, he's underpaid.

Personally, I would say based on what he's done at OSU, he's a Top 15 coach.
 
“Oregon State probably has us by 10x.”

 
Beavers need to take care of business today. Can't let that 2-5 record fool you. That team can play. Just beat the Cougs and they played the Huskies very tough.
