The Pac-12 legal dispute has had a significant impact on Washington State, Oregon State, and the 10 departing schools. In July 2020, the Pac-12 Conference filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and 11 other conferences, alleging that the NCAA had violated antitrust laws by limiting the amount of money that could be paid to student-athletes. The lawsuit also alleged that the NCAA had unfairly restricted the ability of the Pac-12 schools to compete for top athletes.

The lawsuit has had a major impact on Washington State and Oregon State, two of the 12 Pac-12 schools. Both schools have seen their athletic programs suffer due to the legal dispute. Washington State has had to cut back on its recruiting efforts, while Oregon State has seen its recruiting budget slashed. Additionally, both schools have had to reduce their spending on facilities and other athletic programs in order to stay within budget.

The 10 departing schools have also been affected by the Pac-12 legal dispute. These schools have been forced to leave the conference due to the financial strain caused by the lawsuit. As a result, these schools have lost out on potential revenue from television contracts and other sources of income. Additionally, these schools have had to cut back on their recruiting efforts in order to stay within budget.
