Preliminary injunction granted to WSU and OSU, making them the only Pac-12 board members

Just over two months after a Whitman County judge ordered a halt to any Pac-12 board meetings, another hearing Tuesday determined there can be only two members of the board moving forward: Washington State and Oregon State.

Judge Gary Libey granted a preliminary injunction to the remaining Pac-12 schools in Colfax today, noting the other ten schools must be allowed to attend meetings but cannot vote on anything. Libey did stay the order until Monday at noon so the defendants in the case, the University of Washington and Pac-12, have time to file an appeal.

The hearing dragged on for more than two hours, with attorneys for both sides making the same arguments that had largely been made in court documents for weeks leading up to the case.
