Oregon State Football Adjusts Future Series With Idaho Vandals
In this story:
Back in 2022, Oregon State football signed a contract with the Idaho Vandals for a contest between the two programs to take place on September 2, 2028, at Reser Stadium.
Fbschedules.com reported this week that the two sides have agreed to push that game by a week to Saturday, September 9, 2028. OSU will still pay Idaho a fee of $675,000 to participate in the contest.
In addition to this adjustment, Oregon State and Idaho have agreed to an additional game in 2032. A payout/contract for that game will be determined at a later date.
