Executives from Washington and Oregon acknowledged in writing that they would be excluded from decisions related to the future of the Pac-12 — a potentially critical piece of evidence as Washington State and Oregon State, the only remaining schools, wage a legal battle for control of the conference.
The letters then state that Washington and Oregon expected “to remain an active and participating member in the Conference until” next summer. But both Cauce and Reed, who doubles as Oregon’s general counsel, seemingly acknowledged that they were relinquishing their board authority on long-term strategic matters:
that prevents the Pac-12 from conducting board meetings until the makeup of the all-powerful body is determined. The letters were included as exhibits in Kliavkoff’s declaration to Whitman County court, where WSU and OSU began legal proceedings on Sept. 8. But the Cougars and Beavers believe the 10 outgoing schools delivered notice with their public announcements of plans to join other leagues. One day after Cauce stated her letter was not a notice of withdrawal, she held a news conference with reporters to discuss the move to the Big Ten.
However, Kliavkoff’s position seems to contradict the Pac-12’s official stance, which was initially established 14 months ago following USC and UCLA announcing that they would join the Big Ten.
