The departing left the conference for greener pastures, knowing full well that OSU and WSU would get left behind in a Pac-12 that had lost all its leverage. Their greed destroyed the conference and materially hurt OSU and WSU.

Not sure it was so much greed but survival instinct in comparison to what the 8 were seeing happening in the big 2 to 3.

Which is logical and what the court will also decide. I see no way OSU and WSU aren't going to be able to sue, successfully, for damages, maybe beyond the assets available in the PAC12

I donтАЩt think they knew what would happen to anybody. UW and O didnтАЩt leave just OSU and WSU. The other teams found homes. The PAC-2 didnтАЩt. At some point you have to ask yourself if ur pulling the cart or riding in the cart.

That's a lie and you know it. They were all waiting to see if the other schools would leave also so that no single school looked like the "bad guys." UW and UO only left once they knew that AZ, Utah, and ASU had a ticket to the Big12, giving them cover for their own decision to leave.
