Future of Pac-12 Network a sticking point as Oregon State, Washington State seek to salvage conference​

Only two teams remain in the Pac-12, but options exist to ultimately save the brand​

The hearing on the restraining order is expected to be completed around 2 p.m. ET on Monday at Whitman County Superior Court in Washington.

Oregon State and Washington State are seeking further information from the Pac-12 before they proceed. The general assumption is that the Beavers and Cougars will eventually assimilate into the Mountain West. However, even the wording of such a move is fraught with legalities. Someone, somewhere still owns the name "Pac-12."

Could the two schools retain enough assets from the conference to have the Mountain West move into the Pac-12 as opposed to them leaving the conference?

"What [the name is] worth is up for debate," an administrative source at one of the two remaining Pac-12 schools told CBS Sports. "For two schools, there is a lot of pride in that brand. I know for a bunch of schools on the West Coast, they'd love to play under that banner. We're just trying to keep every option open."

Ha - I can imagine a conference (it's a make-believe scenario, so pick any conference you want - Big Ten, SEC, whatever) calling one one of them. Let's say they call Washington State.
"Hey, we've looked at all the pros and cons, and we discussed it, and we decided we want you in our conference."
"Hey that's great. We'll both be great additions to your conference."
"Both?"
"Yeah. I mean, you're calling Oregon State, too, right?"
"No, those guys don't bring enough to the table."
"Hmm... see, we're committed to each other. Take us both or leave us both."
"You won't come if we don't take Oregon State?"
"That's right."
"<<Hang up>>"
"Hello? Hello? I assume you'll call us back with offers for both of us?"

There are people that argue Washington State is a national brand because of the dumbass flag at GameDay. Last I saw there are multiple WSU flags now. Still ga...lame.

Or better yet, play it down in Oakland and call it the 2PAC game. Should easily sell out
