No disrespect to the MWC teams, but I am glad we are basically playing a season long OOC schedule this year. Better than playing the normal Pac12 - not going to be easy, but I think easier than it would have been. Which is all the more reason that we have to finish with a lot of wins. Coach Bray needs to keep the team fighting and fighting hard. Yes! Could not agree more |

Buy tickets now. |

The latest from MHver3... Baylor, BYU, Houston, and Kansas currently have open dates. Arizona and Kansas State currently have a nonconference game scheduled against each other that can probably be worked around. Oregon State is scheduled to play @ Texas Tech and home against Houston, as well. That still leaves Oregon State and Wazzu to find at least three more opponents apiece. I note that Stanford and USC are each searching for opponents in 2025. Stanford actually has two openings, if they want to utilize them both. Nevada and Wyoming are still looking for an additional opponent. 16 games is doable, if the Big 12 goes from nine conference games down to eight conference games this one season. Oregon State already has the @ Texas Tech and Houston games. So, it would be $28 million for the other 14. Oregon State and Wazzu each get seven. That sounds like a lot, but the current deal for 12 Mountain West games is $14 million. The other 14 games would be: Arizona Arizona State Baylor BYU @ Cincy Colorado @ Iowa State @ Kansas @ Kansas State @ Oklahoma State TCU @ UCF @ West Virginia Equitably dividing those up: Oregon State Arizona Baylor Brigham Young @ Cincinnati Colorado @ Kansas @ Oklahoma State Washington State Arizona State @ Iowa State @ Kansas State Texas Christian @ UCF Utah @ West Virginia There may be a different way to divide those games up, if Wazzu gets out of one of their five scheduled games, which would even out the Big 12 games. |

The Big 12 already turned us down for gymnastics.
Sure, you can have partial membership, at 20 cents on the dollar and some of our teams won't ever come to your stadium. Welcome aboard!
No thanks.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan at all of that "option." I heard that the Big 12 said no on gymnastics but I haven't seen anything specific on it. Did they give any reasons? It seems like it would have been a decent idea no matter what else is going on. Maybe it's because adding OSU would have made it seven programs in the conference? It certainly isn't because OSU isn't good enough in gymnastics. |

Why the hell would they turn down our gymnastics? This whole thing is ridiculous.

So this is OSU's 2025 schedule so far:
2025
Aug. 30 - California
Sept. 6 - Fresno State
Sept. 13 - at Texas Tech
Sept. 20 - at Oregon
Sept. 27 - Houston
If they are to add four more Big 12 teams then OSU needs three more games. One is no doubt going to be WSU. I think Portland State might have been scheduled at one point. Maybe you bring them back on and one other team (maybe from the MWC). Or they agree to adding five Big 12 teams, IDK.

The latest from MHver3... What? We travel 8 times. B12 don't travel to the PNW AND we pay $2M/game? |

And it's actually eight games total, he was mistaken and corrected it. Yes, it would be $2 million a game, so $16 million. Of course, that's the info IF he's right about all of this. |

Or they agree to adding five Big 12 teams, IDK. I believe that Oregon State is currently double-booked on August 30th with both the Cal and Portland State games officially currently on that date. I believe that one or both will be rescheduled later. Cal is currently missing a nonconference game, same as Stanford. USC is also missing a game, though, so one or both might be jockeying to play USC. Stanford has the late game against Notre Dame in 2025, so Cal may be looking for a game on the final weekend. Oregon State potentially has seven games lined up. If you add in four more Big-12 teams, that is 11. Then, you can add Stanford (or comparable) to get to 12. It might be a tougher sale for Wazzu, because Wazzu would still need two additional games after the four additional games. |

I took this from the OSU web site after I saw the other site that had PSU and Cal double-booked. I would hope that PSU is also available. USC or Stanford would be cool. |

MHver3 makes a correction... The most obvious seven teams are Arizona, Baylor, BYU, Iowa State, Kansas, and two games against Kansas State. Baylor, BYU (BYU is missing games, because Utah is now a conference opponent), and Kansas are still looking for a 12th game. Kansas State @ Arizona are currently scheduled to play a "nonconference" game against each other. But that can be cancelled and both teams be rescheduled very easily. Iowa State and Kansas State are currently scheduled to play their game against each other in 2025 in Dublin, Ireland, in Week 0. I believe that that entitles them to play a 13th game, if it qualifies as a "Foreign Tour." I am not going to look into that 100%, but I believe that the game does not count toward the 12, if they have not played a 13th regular season game four years before or after the game. Houston looked like the obvious eighth team, but they just announced their 12th game today. So, you would need to get another team. I believe that Oregon State may be looking to buy out the Oregon @ Oklahoma State and the Baylor home-and-home with Oregon to continue the Civil War. And this all may be a part of it. If so, Oklahoma State might be the eighth team? The only other obvious way to get the Civil War back on the schedule from 2026-2028 is to work out some kind of deal with Boise State and Utah State. If a deal is not worked out with the Big-12 or MWC, the Civil War may be suspended from 2026-2028. So, I will assume that the eight games would be against: @ Arizona, Baylor, @ BYU, @ Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State (home-and away), and Oklahoma State. Arizona loses out on a home game and gets another one. BYU needs a home game to replace Utah. Iowa State probably deserves a home game more than the other three, because they will have a neutral-site game in Dublin. Oregon State basically has seven games lined up. Add four of the eight above, and the Beavs could round out the schedule with a game against Stanford or USC. |
