Will take quite awhile to read through all of this, but thank you (as always) for sharing the actual documents.
I do like this piece:
"Claims OSU and WSU should seek legal remedies when they are actually damaged by a vote of Pac-12 members."
And at the same time, the statement from the 10 teams today claims they need legal intervention because OSU/WSU could possibly harm the other 10 teams by taking part or all of the 2023 revenue. No actual damages, just potential damages.
Thanks for looking at the source documents. Everyone has their own technical expertise, experience or intuition which can provide a unique perspective. The more eyes the better.
They claim OSU/WSU would need millions of dollars to pay exit fees for other teams to join a rebuilt Pac12 as evidence that OSU/WSU would take 2023 revenues from the 10 departing teams?
In their exhibit 5, the Athletic article clearly states that the conference can operate as 2 teams for 2 years and then add MW teams, which will have no exit fees at that point in time.
And the UW president was never told USC/UCLA were stripped of their board seats? Did she ever think it was odd that there were only 10 teams present on all conference voting matters and discussions after those teams announced they were headed to the Big10?
Did she never once ask why they weren't there?
Did nobody else ever ask? How does a conference operate for a full year with no mention of elephant in the room?
