Posted September 14, 2024Sep 14 Is Oregon State vs. Oregon football series due for a pause following 2025 season? WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The Beavers and Ducks play for the 128th time Saturday, but next year's game could be the last for a while because of financial hurdles.
September 14, 2024Sep 14 Author To make the 2024 and 2025 games work, Oregon had to rewrite its three-game contract with Boise State. The Ducks were scheduled to play the Broncos in Eugene in 2024 and 2026, and at Boise State in 2025. The 2025 game was dropped to accommodate the OSU series. In addition, Oregon had to buy its way out of a game against Hawaii. It cost Oregon an additional $2.8 million to change the deals in order to play the Oregon State games in 2024 and 2025. Ducks play nine conference games and three nonconference games. Oregon already has a full slate of nonconference games for 2026, 2027 and 2028: 2026: Boise State, at Oklahoma State, Portland State. 2027: Eastern Washington, at Baylor, Utah State 2028: North Dakota State, Baylor, at Utah State For 2026, the obvious game to move or buy out is Portland State. But, a nonconference schedule of Boise State, Oklahoma State and Oregon State is a tough ask. Moreover, the Ducks would be looking at playing two nonconference road games in 2026 or 2027 if they play the Beavers. More at that link.
