Looks like Oregon is working on continuing the series with Oregon State as well.......

It involves Oregon working with Boise State to reschedule the 2024 game, as Oregon State has an opening that week in September.

With Washington playing Washington State and presumably Oregon playing Oregon State in future years, would these count as "Power Conference" matchups, or will these 2 matchups also be regulated to Power Conference vs. random G5 opponent as well?

Will any Power Conference school playing Washington State or Oregon State in the future be seen as the equivalent of playing Ball State, Temple, Wyoming, North Texas or New Mexico State?

That depends on future performane...Wazzu has lost 7 of their last 8 games (they did beat Deion's team in that stretch).

They could end up being regarded as a San Diego State type program if performance lags....

Looks like the PAC 2 temporarily bought games...$14 million to the Mountain West to schedule six games with them.

I imagine an eventual merger will have to come.

Would seem preferable to separate the wheat from chaff if they can. (Eg Hawaii Wyoming New Mexico). Exit fees were too high this year but do they go down ?

Wyoming is a pretty good program.

 

[Vowelguy]

Wyoming is a pretty good program.

I was waiting for someone to chime in with such nonsense.

They have NO population and NO brand recognition. But yeah, other than that, a great addition to any conference.

Pac 2 and MWC scheduling agreement. What is that, a win-win, lose-lose, win-lose? I can't tell

 

[AZHuskiePop]

How about a conference of
OSU
WSU
SDSU
Boise
San Jose
Fresno State
Air Force
Colorado State

Min of two from the following
UNLV
New Mexico
Utah State
UN Reno
Wyoming

BB only
Gonzaga
St Marys’s

Football only
UConn

That becomes a decent BB conference

Unfortunately, it only makes sense if you are a UConn guy.

Not even then

I'm surprised the PAC-12 (Oregon State/Washington State) would agree to this. Looks like the USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington Spring Games will air on BTN if this gets finalized............

Who will broadcast Oregon, departing Pac-12 schools’ football spring games?

The Pac-12 does not wish to broadcast the spring games of those schools via the Pac-12 Network, according to a league source, and talks are under way with other entities to broadcast the games.

Oregon State, Washington State block payments to Pac-12 schools as liabilities loom

The legal fight over control of the Pac-12 took another turn when OSU and WSU blocked a traditional multimillion-dollar payout from the conference office.
