Washington State University (WSU) and Oregon State University (OSU) have agreed to enter into mediation with the outbound Pac-12 schools in a legal dispute. The dispute centers around the Pac-12’s decision to exclude the outbound schools from the conference’s revenue sharing agreement.
The Pac-12 is a collegiate athletic conference that consists of 12 member universities, including WSU and OSU. The outbound schools are the University of Utah, Colorado State University, and the University of Arizona. The dispute arose when the Pac-12 decided to exclude the outbound schools from its revenue sharing agreement.
The outbound schools argued that the Pac-12’s decision was unfair and violated the terms of the conference’s agreement with them. In response, WSU and OSU agreed to enter into mediation with the outbound schools to resolve the dispute.
The mediation process will involve both sides presenting their arguments and attempting to reach an agreement on how to resolve the dispute. The mediator will then make a recommendation to the Pac-12 and the outbound schools on how to proceed.
It is unclear how long the mediation process will take, but it is expected that it will be completed within the next few months. It is also unclear what the outcome of the mediation process will be. However, it is likely that both sides will be able to reach an agreement that is satisfactory to all parties involved.
The mediation process between WSU, OSU, and the outbound schools is an important step in resolving this legal dispute. It is hoped that both sides will be able to come to an agreement that is fair and beneficial for all parties involved.
