Sources: WSU, OSU near affiliate deal with WCC
Oregon State and Washington State are nearing an agreement to join the West Coast Conference as affiliate members next year in multiple sports, most notably men's and women's basketball, sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
OSU and WSU intend to rebuild the Pac-12 and will keep the conference's branding on their football fields next season despite operating as a two-team conference.
For a conference to exist, the NCAA requires "at least seven active Division I members," all of which must sponsor men's and women's basketball, and for the conference to sponsor at least 12 Division I sports, among other requirements. In the case of departures, the bylaws allow a conference a two-year grace period in which it can exist without the minimum number of schools.

Rumor: Oregon State and Wazzu may soon receive Big 12 invite
Oregon State and Wazzu could soon receive an invitation to the Big 12 according to longtime college football radio host Greg Swaim; who hinted as much in a somewhat cryptic post on May 2."Good news coming soon for those of us who believe that (Oregon State) and (Wazzu) belong in the Big 12," tweeted Swaim.
This comes as a bit of a surprise considering the Pac-2 schools were part of the ACC's contingency plan -- along with Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UConn -- in the event FSU, Clemson, UNC, and Louisville left the conference according to PressBox DC's Jim Williams. Neither Oregon State nor Wazzu has AAU accreditation, so the hope of joining the Big Ten to keep rivalries with Oregon and Washington in-conference is not slim to none, just none. The B1G fit would be awkward from both an academic standpoint and a cultural standpoint with the Big Ten trying to expand into bigger cities as opposed to smaller college towns.

Oregon St., Wazzu home games on CW, Fox in '24
Home football games for Oregon State and Washington State, the two remaining schools in the Pac-12, will air on CW and Fox next season.
Oregon State, Washington State to play home games on CW, Fox in '24
The CW and Fox Sports will combine to televise the 2024 home football games for the remaining two Pac-12 teams, Oregon State and Washington State, the conference announced Tuesday."We are thrilled to announce these national partnerships with The CW and FOX," Pac-12 commissioner Teresa Gould said in a statement. "Oregon State and Washington State football student-athletes deserve this elite stage as they continue competing for the College Football Playoff, and Beaver and Cougar fans have a great opportunity to enjoy their teams successes."

Financial terms for the agreement were not disclosed.
In the wake of UCLA and USC's announced departure for the Big Ten in 2022, the Pac-12 collapsed last summer after former commissioner George Kliavkoff was unable to secure a media rights package enticing enough to keep, most notably, Oregon and Washington on board. After considering a streaming-heavy deal with Apple, Oregon and Washington also jumped to the Big Ten, in what represented a death knell for the Pac-12 as a major conference.
Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah moved to the Big 12 and Stanford and Cal left for the ACC, leaving OSU and WSU in continued limbo. The schools have a scheduling agreement to play six football games -- three home; three away -- against Mountain West opponents in 2024. Additionally, OSU and WSU entered into an alliance with the West Coast Conference for most of their remaining sports, including basketball.
Just sayin': The PAC-2 gets a TV deal.....

Pac-12 Networks to go dark Sunday night after 12-year run
The demise of the Pac-12 Networks Sunday night serves as another stark reminder of the wreckage of college football realignment.
The Pac-12 Networks launched in 2012 as a Pac-12 Conference media company that promised lots of programming – seven television channels that eventually produced about 850 live events per year with the help of about 150 full-time employees.But now it’s all over. The Pac-12 Networks finally will go dark Sunday night at age 12 due to complications from a vexing national outbreak – college football realignment.
“Pac-12 Networks will end its signal for its seven linear television channels on June 30 at midnight,” the league said in an email Thursday. “We will no longer broadcast or program these seven linear TV channels.”

Oregon St., Wazzu keep Pac-12 bowl agreements
The Pac-12's existing bowl game agreements will continue through the 2025 season despite the conference's breakup, allowing Oregon State and Washington State to retain their postseason opportunities.
Oregon State, Washington State keep bowl ties from Pac-12 deal
The Pac-12's existing bowl game agreements will continue through the 2025 season despite the league's breakup, the conference announced Friday.Among other things, it means that Oregon State and Washington State, the two remaining Pac-12 schools after the conference collapsed in realignment last summer, will retain their postseason opportunities.
The Pac-12 said each of the league's bowl partners will "continue its agreed upon selection process″ among both current and former teams. The conference previously signed six-year bowl agreements that run through 2025.
The league has worked with the ACC, Big 12 and Big Ten conferences on the agreements for the Holiday Bowl, Independence Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, LA Bowl, Sun Bowl, Alamo Bowl and the ESPN bowl pool.
The Rose Bowl is now part of the College Football Playoff. It will host a quarterfinal and semifinal game in the new 12-team format.
"We are thrilled to ensure Oregon State and Washington State student-athletes will continue to have opportunities to participate in the same level of premier postseason events as in years past," said Merton Hanks, Pac-12 executive associate commissioner of football operations. "From the College Football Playoff to our esteemed bowl partners, we are thankful for the cooperation among multiple parties, including our colleagues across each participating conference, to secure these events."

Sources: Pac-12, MWC don't reach deal for 2025
The Mountain West and Pac-12 conferences did not come to an agreement before Sunday's deadline to extend their football scheduling beyond the 2024 season.
Sources: Pac-12, Mountain West football don't reach deal for '25
The Mountain West and Pac-12 conferences did not come to an agreement before Sunday's deadline to extend their football scheduling beyond the 2024 season, sources confirmed to ESPN.While it's theoretically possible to circle back, the most likely scenario will be for Oregon State and Washington State to build fully independent schedules for the 2025 season.
"There's too big a gap [between the parties]," a source told ESPN.
The lack of an agreement stems mostly from the Pac-12's priority to be flexible for more sea changes in college athletics over the next year. Financial factors also played a role, sources told ESPN.
There is not believed to have been any substantial talks for either Oregon State or Washington State to join one of the remaining four power conferences, sources said.
This year, all 12 Mountain West schools will play seven conference games, plus either OSU or WSU as part of an agreement that was struck in December, following the collapse of the Pac-12 that left it with just two members. As part of that deal, the Pac-12 paid the MWC roughly $14 million.

Wrong glass, Sir.
They have something like an 18M buyout to leave the MWC. Where's the money, Lebowski? These are four poverty programs joining up with two other poverty programs that nobody wanted. They'll still be considered a "G" whatever the conference name is. I get it that Boise is chasing the fool's gold of big time foosball; it's in their DNA. I'm just surprised that the Cal State system is letting two of their schools waste money to do the same.Not dead yet...
