Washington Supreme Court stays ruling on Pac-12 control

The Washington Supreme Court stayed a lower court's ruling from earlier this month 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 with unanimity in all matters.

The TRO will remain as the court decides where to retain the case for review or transfer it to the state's court of appeals. An accelerated briefing schedule to determine how the case will move forward will conclude by Dec. 12.

Washington, acting on behalf of the other nine universities departing the Pac-12 -- Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Utah -- previously opposed the lower court's ruling and took the matter to the state's supreme court.
