They weren't worried about the Pac-12, they were worried about getting accepted to the Big-10. If there is a transaction cost associated with that, that wasn't their concern.Maybe Husky was at the meeting last week, and can fill us in. It was supposed to be with lawyers, after all.
Public announcements can definitely be considered notice. Especially when it's accompanied by a press conference and joining a competitor. The lawsuit analogy isn't relevant because there's a very specific process involved in suing someone. You can announce that you're suing, write a letter saying you're suing, and take out ads in the paper saying you're suing...but if you don't file the right paperwork with the right court, you're not suing.While I don't want a penny of the assets to go to the mutts or quackers (or even the condoms or drubbins), I have to agree with moondawgie's assessment. I don't think for a second any of these teams were not aware of the cited clauses and would walk away from those dollars.
Also, the site pac-12compliance.org looks like some dude's blog. It doesn't look official, and certainly isn't affiliated with the Pac12 at all. The information is generally massively out of date. And even if this handbook is real, it most certainly was leaked and may not even be up to date.
Finally, with respect to "notice." I don't think holding a press conference and saying "We are leaving the Pac-12" constitutes notice. At least legally. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think a public declaration is notice. I'm thinking of the case of a company holding a press conference saying they are suing another company. That in and of itself is not notice. There is a process, and I suspect a similar process applies here.
Don't we have some lawyers here? They can answer more definitively.
at this point, I assume they will have a dissolution team figure this out.So, if Stanford and a Cal split, what are the logistics of OSU and WSU dissolving the conference? Do they have to wait until 8/2024? If they join another conference before then what happens to the assets?
if they have to wait until then to get the money, how do they schedule for ‘24/‘25? 🤷🏼♂️
MoonDawgie looks like Biggs is your father.Wilner confirms our read here in his mailbag today. The last 4 control the entire pot. How big the pot is a TBD.
If Cal and Stanford split, then their reps are no longer part of the CEO board either. WSU and OSU call the shots. So, they make it so the conference announces its dissolution under the relevant rules, releasing WSU and OSU to pursue other membership. That way, WSU and OSU did not provide notice of departure in violation of the agreement...the conference dissolved around them and waived that clause.So, if Stanford and a Cal split, what are the logistics of OSU and WSU dissolving the conference?

SDSU is the obvious one. There’s an argument for SMU (not an MWC team), but under the circumstances I think we’re better served by being more regional. Fresno or UNLV as #2. We can start moving further East as that gets on its feet.I say we add two schools to the conference to make ourselves eligible to maintain our membership as a P5 and when the MWC media deal is up in 2024/25, we start the poaching process. What two schools shall we add? One for sure should be SMU....... The other possibly a Rice/Tulane/ North Texas/Memphis/South Florida. I think we should retain the PAC12 then add the MWC teams that would bring in the biggest revenue. SDSU, UNLV, FSU, Air Force, CSU, Boise St & Wyoming(?). Or any mixture thereof. Only add the highest value school that would maximize revenue streams. Only schedule 7 conference games a year with other OOC games being massive payouts from other P5 conferences or lesser opponents as to maximize bowl eligible teams within the conference.
I think it’s 6 to be a conference but that doesn’t guarantee P5 status. I believe that’s going away next week if 3/4 other P5 conferences vote the PAC off the island.I say we add two schools to the conference to make ourselves eligible to maintain our membership as a P5 and when the MWC media deal is up in 2024/25, we start the poaching process.

From the NCAA Division 1 2023-24 ManualI think it’s 6 to be a conference but that doesn’t guarantee P5 status. I believe that’s going away next week if 3/4 other P5 conferences vote the PAC off the island.
I do like SMU + 1 for next year and the best of the Mtn West the year following assuming the B12 is a no go.
Wilner didn't confirm jack squat. Being "told by multiple sources", "Our reading of the bylaws indicates..." is not something to hang your hat on. Schulz even says he doesn't know. Surprising given how he is so knowledgeable and prepared for any situation.Wilner confirms our read here in his mailbag today. The last 4 control the entire pot. How big the pot is a TBD.

I’m assuming as a proud BCC grad you dislike Oregon? Maybe read this for a different perspective if you insist on lurking here just to be an asshole.Wilner didn't confirm jack squat.

Opinion: Pac-12 defections deliver a blow to the soul of college athletics
The prevailing sentiment among many fans and student-athletes over the decision of five universities to leave the Pac-12 Conference is sadness, anger and dread about the prospect of games far away from home, writes Jayathi Y. Murthy, president of Oregon State University. While OSU believes the...www.oregonlive.com
I honestly don’t begrudge the institution for looking after their own interests, UW or Oregon. Sounds like they went about it with the level of arrogance and petulance you’d expect, but whatever. But why do people like you actively root for WSU to be in financial ruin? for athletes to lose scholarships and programs to be shut down? For people in marketing, operations, administration to lose their jobs…probably have to move their families?
You aren’t going to see a dime of any of the “emergency funds”. UW will be just fine with or without them. It takes a special kind of douchebag to hope that WSU doesn’t end up with a financial lifeline for a couple of years until the Pac conference or further realignment works itself out.
Childish, sure. But also legal, bitch.Yes, ducks are a natural enemy of bulldogs.
Nice attempt to attribute sentiment to me that I've neither stated nor alluded to. Check my first post in this thread on how I feel about the situation for WSU and the overall CFB landscape. As far as my "hopes", I hope all the schools get their fair distribution as opposed to yourself that wants to childishly punish schools for choosing to do something different once the existing agreement expires.
Childish, sure. But also legal, bitch.
It's all about stability.The Huskies just reminded us, business is never personal....and the business of making sure we control the media distributions to offset the losses due to their decision is not personal...just business.
That was a pretty powerful commentary by OSU's President. Helluva lot more than we seen from ours.Yes, ducks are a natural enemy of bulldogs.

Now this may surprise some of you, but I also hope that each school gets their "fair share". I am always in favor of things being fair.Yes, ducks are a natural enemy of bulldogs.

fair share? it seems like you are irked that WSU will not be left destitute. denying what is being reported on from all sources to insist that UW gets its fair share is patheticYes, ducks are a natural enemy of bulldogs.

I’m starting to call it the 2B1G.uw trying to make up for their reduced BIG share.
