Basically they want to control the Pac 12 at this point, and that remaining members lose their votes for the board. This would allow them more autonomy in adding or merging with others. Makes sense.

They should have full autonomy post August 1st or whatever
Where it gets dicey is when it comes to fulfilling the existing contract
The other thing nobody is talking about is what provisions are contained tied to winding down and/or dissolution … I’ve never read a partnership agreement that doesn’t have that provision contained within
CUOG and BEAV sense!?

Using the 2021 Colonial Athletic Association v. James Madison University matter as precedent, it appears that the Beavs and Cougs automatically play on December 1 at Allegiant Stadium for the P12 championship:
“ RICHMOND, Va. (November 10, 2021) – The Colonial Athletic Association Board of Directors has reaffirmed its decision to deny a waiver request from James Madison University to allow its teams to compete in CAA team championships during the 2021-22 season.”

I'm all for them gathering whatever is left of the network/conference to set themselves up going forward.
But to sit and make this as hard as possible for the schools leaving is just a waste of everyone's time. SC/UCLA/UO/UW lawyers had already gone over everything months and months ago.

Actually, the PAC-12 opened in 2011, when Colorado and Utah joined.

All this suit is about is letting the 2 remaining schools determine the Destiny of the Conference and also make the PAC 12 and NCAA disclose just what assets are available after Spring sports conclude in 2024 and what revenues would be due to the Conference after that. Because technically it would still be a Power 5 conference through 2025 and maybe 2026 as they have the opportunity to rebuild the conference to at least 8 teams after that.
That probably won’t happen. But what this would do is stop the Robber Barons from pilfering funds that would be due to the PAC 2 teams through 2025 and possibly 2026 should they decide to wait it out and play heavy Non con schedules. Afterall, they already have at least 4 games scheduled in Football.
And should the suit be successful and they decide to ride it out to collect the Power 5 cash, the landscape will be different then. And it’s possible that there’s a better option other than the Mtn West available. Many think that both schools could net $30 mill doing this.

I haven’t seen anything in the suit that tries to restrict the schools from leaving. Having the schools stay actually detracts from the goals of the suit.
Which is for the NCAA and the Conference disclose revenues due to the remaining teams for ‘24-25 and beyond. And for the remaining schools to receive that, should they decide to ride it out.
