BELLINGHAM, WA – Washington State, Oregon State and the Mountain West announced a football scheduling agreement for the 2024 season.

The agreement positions the schools to operate as a two-team conference for at least a year.

NCAA rules allow for a conference to be as small as two schools for a two-year period.

All 12 Mountain West schools will be involved and OSU and WSU will each play three home games and three road games against conference members.

The two new members will pay about $14 million to the Mountain West next year as part of the agreement.

For its part, the Mountain West will play a seven-game conference schedule and the games against Oregon State and Washington State will not count in the league standings.

The other ten Pac-12 schools are joining new Power Five leagues in 2024.
