Offseason

Prior to the 2023 Pac-12 Conference football season, 10 of the teams in the Pac-12 Conference announced that they intended to join other conferences, leaving Oregon State and Washington State as the only remaining conference members. Following several months of legal maneuvering over conference assets and liabilities, all schools reached a settlement in which Oregon State and Washington State retained control over the conference. [1] The schools arranged a scheduling partnership with the Mountain West Conference to complete their football schedules. [2]
