Watch Live: PAC-12 lawsuit hearing

Washington State University (WSU) and Oregon State University (OSU) filed a lawsuit against the conference on Friday. The lawsuit states the schools want to protect the conference's assets, gain access to business information about the conference and confirm who is allowed to vote on decisions within the conference.

Presidents of both WSU and OSU said the legal action is "a critical step that allows the two universities to continue to explore all options for preserving the conference going forward."

The lawsuit states that because ten schools have given notice they are leaving the Pac-12 for another conference, WSU and OSU are now the only schools that make up the conference. This also means that all other schools previously in the conference essentially gave up their membership on the PAC-12 Board of Directors, according to the lawsuit.

Friday's lawsuit seeks to prevent the departing schools from meeting or trying to take any action regarding the status or governance of the conference.

Monday's hearing will allow both WSU and OSU to seek a declarative judgement from the court on who can make conference decisions.
