State of the Beavs: New Pac-12 Media Deal and What Comes Next
In this story:
The biggest news in the Pac-12, and maybe all of college sports this week, is the announcement that the league and CBS have an agreement in place to show key football and basketball games once the league returns in 2026. It's a major step forward for the rebuilding league and likely means the addition of an eighth football member is imminent.
Will we end up seeing the Pac-12 formally invite Texas State this week? Or, does the league have something else up its sleeve?
Your host Matt Bagley also notes some additions and subtractions for Oregon State baseball through the transfer portal and some minor recruiting news for Oregon State football. Go Beavs.
