Oregon State University (OSU) and Washington State University (WSU) have recently completed their 2024 football schedules, solidifying their in-state rivalries amidst conference uncertainty. The continuation of these matchups demonstrates the commitment both universities have towards maintaining their long-standing traditions.

The schedule includes a series of games between Oregon and Oregon State, which are set to take place in 2024 in Corvallis, Oregon, and in 2025 in Eugene, Oregon. Additionally, Washington and Washington State have already announced the continuation of their Apple Cup series until 2028.

To navigate the uncertain conference landscape, OSU and WSU recently entered into a football scheduling agreement with the Mountain West Conference (MWC) for the 2024 season. This agreement was finalized on December 1, with the Mountain West receiving approximately $14 million as part of the arrangement. However, decisions regarding the long-term futures of these universities' other sports are still under discussion. While talks are ongoing, a source within the Mountain West Conference stated that the West Coast Conference may be the more likely destination for the other sports. Plans for the 2025 season and beyond have yet to be determined.

For the 2024 football season, both OSU and WSU will face three home and three away Mountain West opponents, separate from their existing agreements with MWC schools. These nonconference games will add excitement to the schedule and provide an opportunity for both universities to showcase their talent against formidable opponents.

As part of the updated Mountain West Conference matchups for 2024, Oregon State University's schedule includes a game against Idaho State on August 31. Following that, on September 7, they will face off against San Diego State in a game on the road.

The finalized schedule demonstrates the determination of Oregon State University and Washington State University to maintain their rivalries and uphold their football traditions, even in the face of conference uncertainty. Fans can look forward to exciting matchups in the coming years, as both universities continue to compete at the highest level.

With their 2024 football schedules now in place, Oregon State University and Washington State University are ready to kick-off a new era of competition, showcasing their skills and passion for the game.
