Remaining Pac-12 members Oregon State Beavers and Washington State Cougars achieved a significant off-field triumph on Tuesday, as a Washington county judge ruled in their favor by granting them a preliminary injunction. The decision affords the two schools control over Pac-12 governance and assets this year.

The Beavers and the Cougars had earlier filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the 10 schools leaving the Pac-12 in 2024 from being involved in making decisions in the conference's future. The ruling has put the two schools in control of the conference revenue this season, which is estimated to be around $500 million.

Nevertheless, the decision is currently on hold, with a stay in effect until at least Monday. Attorneys representing the 10 departing Pac-12 schools are actively pursuing an appeal to challenge the ruling. It remains to be seen how the events unfold in the coming weeks.

Fan Mocks the exiting Pac-12 teams

Following the ruling by Whitman County Judge Gary Libey on Tuesday, a lot of college football fans have mocked the 10 departing Pac-12 schools amid their loss in the legal battle. They found the Beavers and the Cougars, who are considered irrelevant, conquering the ten teams laughable.

Washington notably sought to be part of the case a few months ago to seek its dismissal. However, the effort was to no avail after the recent victory of the two remaining schools. Let's take a look at some of the online reactions of college football fans.
