‘There are so many different scenarios’ swirling in college athletics, SDSU athletic director says
Oregon State running back Anthony Hankerson eludes a San Diego State defender during Saturday night’s game at Snapdragon Stadium.Oregon State played at San Diego State in football Saturday night as part of a one-year scheduling agreement with the Mountain West.The short answer is 2026, for a nonconference game that was scheduled years ago. But when or if they might regularly meet as members of the same league is more complicated, especially after a Sept.
It remains to be seen, though, who exactly might be on that schedule in the back half of the season, when the rest of the nation is playing conference games and nonconference dates are booked years, sometimes decades, in advance. Or if Mountain West schools are willing to bail them out on an individual basis.
Several sources inside and outside the Mountain West walked through the options for Oregon State and Washington State, in order of preference:: The two have lobbied hard for an invite, but there has been little appetite from the 16-team conference for more mouths to feed from Corvallis, Ore., and Pullman, Wash.

Reports emerged earlier this summer that OSU and WSU were setting aside $65 million of the Pac-12 treasure chest they inherited to help attract new members should they fail to secure a power conference invite. That presumably could be used to pry free Mountain West schools like SDSU and Boise State.
