Washington Supreme Court stays ruling on Pac-12 control — ESPN
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.
PAC 12 refs and Washington judges…
- Thread starter BSpike76
- Start date
Washington State Supreme court consists of 9 Judges, and they received their law degrees from these universities, 3 UW grads, 2 from Seattle U, 2 from Gonzaga, 1 from Cal, and 1 from North Carolina. So no help from the Judges, in fact I think some should recuse themselves, this is no longer Whitman County, and expecting a ruling in WSU and OSU's favor today was highly unlikely. Today's ruling was expected, and the UW attorneys are buying more time, but it still doesn't change the facts of the case. One of UW's arguments is they did WSU and OSU no harm, and they shouldn't have complete control. Ironically the longer they drag this out the more harm they cause.
UW and the rest of the Traitorous 10 have done WSU and OSU great harm by destroying the PAC12 which can in turn, cost us millions over the years. That is a ridiculous argument and the Washington Supreme Court is just as ridiculous if they buy that garbage.
A bunch of progressive tards that think Inslee was right to fire workers in the state for not adhering to the mandate. On a side note, state workers received a $1k bonus just for getting the booster. Great use of our tax dollars. I sure hope the people in this state outside of King County finally band together and vote in someone competent.
“This funding is vital to our ability to operate our athletics programs and to provide mental and physical health services, academic support, and other support programs for our student-athletes. The combined earnings of 12 schools during the 2023-2024 academic year should not be unilaterally governed by just two institutions while we all remain members of the Conference."
What a load of bullshit. The bylaws are clear on both of these points. The conference reimburses reasonable expenses as long as each school is still a member. And all 10 signed the agreement that says they may forfeit media money after they announce departure, at the discretion of the remaining members. Now that it applies to them, they want to change the rules.

“In my view the provision is poorly written and possibly ambiguous,” Washington Supreme Court Commissioner Michael Johnston wrote in his ruling about the Pac-12 bylaws at the heart of the case. “
Poorly written? OMG, it's "poorly written" in his opinion! You can make that statement about all kinds of written documents the court has seen in the past and has not objected to. Shakespeare didn't write it, so it's "poorly written!" Coward.
Possibly ambiguous? Well, is it or is it not ambiguous? What a load of crap. This is just a sellout to make sure they didn't get crossways with the powers that be. That's all.
This will not turn out well for the Pac-2. The writing is on the wall with our corrupt Supreme Court.

This is exactly why so many people hate attorneys. You have the snakes arguing that the meaning of a bylaw is exactly the opposite of what it says, then you have some left side liberal going along with it and second guessing what might have been intended when originally written. And if it WAS poorly written, so what? It means what it says!
At this point, since the 10 traitors keep saying that they might be hurt if they are cut out of decision making, I think WSU/OSU should immediately file a lawsuit claiming any and all perceived damages created by the lying 10 schools. For starters, the annual payments due from the proposed media deal (wasn't it around $25,000,000 per year?) should be easy to prove. Lots of possible damages to pile on top of that. And if the deal was for 6 years that's $150 million per school, $300 million total, meaning each of the refugees would be on the hook for $30,000,000 each. That could be a pretty strong bargaining chip to use against those bastards to get them to accept a reduced amount in the original dispute and drop their disputing the fact that they have given notice and have thus forfeited their seat on the board.
It says “likely” and “would” not “will.”
Some state employees got 4% on July 1, others got 2.5% on October 1. There weren’t covid bonuses or retention bonuses.
Geezus christ. Has anyone besides me actually worked in Higher Ed or government in general? I f-ing hated it. Guaranteed COLA raises for life. Keep your head down and nose clean aside from sticking your snout in the bosses' ass frequently. Just don't bone any females on your floor - oops. Won't list them all for sweet pristine Julie's sake
. I think I only need one hand to count them. Oh wait - 2 hands. That was just WSU. Would need to take my shoes off to count the others. Off to bed. It is late.And I promised to not tell sex stories anymore. Just sooo many.......

Never been a member of any union myself (and never will), but I know people who are, and I am a state employee.
Also, interesting thing about state employment - if the union negotiates a salary change for its members, the same change is implemented for non-members. So everyone gets the benefit of union representation…but not everyone pays for it. Just one of the reasons having a union for state employees is ridiculous.
Yes.Geezus christ. Has anyone besides me actually worked in Higher Ed or government in general? I f-ing hated it. Guaranteed COLA raises for life.

And not exactly. You’ll get occasional COLAs…but they won’t keep up. Outside of the civil service classifications, it’s likely that over time, you’ll effectively make less as your salary will not grow at the same rate as inflation. Yes, there’s a mechanism for largely merit-based increases, but the system is built to resist them, and when they do occur they’re most often a reflection of your ability to find the proper spot on someone’s posterior to place your lips. People who actually deserve an increase based on their performance hardly ever get them.
I haven't read the opinion, but it seems odd to me the Commissioner focused on that on a motion for a stay.
Even if a higher court determines whatever provisions he's referring to is ambiguous, that doesn't mean the Superior Court Judge erred.
That’s a ridiculous statement. A plain language reading of the clause is pretty clear. You need to stand on your head, squint, and read it backwards to get UW’s interpretation out of it.
Besides, there’s supporting documentation to show that the 10 either interpreted it the way WSU does or that they accepted that interpretation.
Case closed.
Keep in mind this is the same Supreme Court that ruled a Capital gains tax is not an income tax, when the federal government does consider it an income tax. I am not optimistic that this will be settled quickly, looks like more depositions will be required, then the real story starts coming out.
I’m I look for this case to s-l-o-w down.
About one year or so from now should just about do it.
Stall.
Once P-2 loses its leverage to stay on as a power 5 in less than 2 years, I look for WSU and OSU to cave for whatever paltry sum they can get.
Hope I’m wrong.

Liberal courts think they are the super-stars of the judicial system and must legislate to prove their worth instead of using precedent. Like I said earlier in the thread, my confidence in the P2 prevailing in this thing is waning.
My prediction - the court legislates that the P2 give all the traitors most of the money in the name of "equity" and then leave the P2 holding the empty bag with full control of basically nothing for the next two years.
I see you're back on your meds.Geezus christ. Has anyone besides me actually worked in Higher Ed or government in general? I f-ing hated it. Guaranteed COLA raises for life.

Or maybe you're off of them.
I honestly can't tell anymore, your rants have become shockingly Mik-esque.
Perhaps seek medical attention, and not just for your viagra induced priapism.
Well, they have the SCOTUS as a model for ignoring precedent. Also the text of the Constitution means what they want it to mean.
I can assure you, it actually is. I've seen paystubs and a really close friend of mine works for the state. He verified that.
State employees likely to get 1K bonuses for COVID booster
SEATTLE (AP) — Under a tentative deal Washington state employees would get $1,000 bonuses for receiving a COVID-19 booster shot.

Admittedly this doesn't say it's final.
My wife is a teacher. I believe she got something.
She was allowed to keep getting a paycheck.State employees likely to get 1K bonuses for COVID booster

Inslee's lap dogs will continue to make up "law" as long as their progressive education and state voters allow them to ! Patty Pork and Maria Cant Spell along with mad dog maxine waters perfectly define the corruption that Inslee loves to see. As for the dogs, the WA supreme dorks bow down to the left of libs destroying the state !
Outrageous corruption !
Outrageous corruption !
With an extra $1,000 in it for taking the booster, which was required for a trip we took to Italy anyway.
Found the problem. It was funded. You had to apply for it, it wasn't automatic. And it doesn't apply to higher ed employees.
Ok, well…it wasn’t all state workers. Its wasn’t even all of the WSFE members. If they worked in higher ed, they got nothing
Seems fair. They can lose their job over the shots, but they’re not eligible for the incentive.
