WSU and OSU's "fuck you" continues.

Good for them.

Sources: WSU, OSU near affiliate deal with WCC

Oregon State and Washington State are nearing an agreement to join the West Coast Conference as affiliate members next year in multiple sports, most notably men's and women's basketball, sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.

OSU and WSU intend to rebuild the Pac-12 and will keep the conference's branding on their football fields next season despite operating as a two-team conference.

For a conference to exist, the NCAA requires "at least seven active Division I members," all of which must sponsor men's and women's basketball, and for the conference to sponsor at least 12 Division I sports, among other requirements. In the case of departures, the bylaws allow a conference a two-year grace period in which it can exist without the minimum number of schools.

Rumor: Oregon State and Wazzu may soon receive Big 12 invite​

Oregon State and Wazzu could soon receive an invitation to the Big 12 according to longtime college football radio host Greg Swaim; who hinted as much in a somewhat cryptic post on May 2.

"Good news coming soon for those of us who believe that (Oregon State) and (Wazzu) belong in the Big 12," tweeted Swaim.



This comes as a bit of a surprise considering the Pac-2 schools were part of the ACC's contingency plan -- along with Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UConn -- in the event FSU, Clemson, UNC, and Louisville left the conference according to PressBox DC's Jim Williams. Neither Oregon State nor Wazzu has AAU accreditation, so the hope of joining the Big Ten to keep rivalries with Oregon and Washington in-conference is not slim to none, just none. The B1G fit would be awkward from both an academic standpoint and a cultural standpoint with the Big Ten trying to expand into bigger cities as opposed to smaller college towns.

I don't even know what programs are in what conferences anymore. CFB is a mess.
