TLDR: Oregon State and Washington State have filed for a temporary restraining order to keep Kliavkoff from convening a board meeting with the current Pac-12 leadership where they could dissolve the conference and split the current and future assets. The article also has some insight into what those assets actually are.

Heck yeah, I hope they win. That'd be a nice little windfall for them. But, if they succeeded, then they dissolved it and split the assets between the 2, I can't imagine that the 4 that went to the Big 12 would be too eager to vouch for them to actually get in the Big 12, one day.

I guess it's looking like Mountain West for them. I can't see that those two have much sway when it comes to raiding the Mountain West under the Pac-12 name, so what's the point? Just kill it and merge. It honestly would not be a bad league and may even rival the Big 12 and future ACC.

What they should do is just merge with the Mountain West and the MW take the Pac-12 name for branding purposes.

They wouldn’t get to keep those assets though.
