HDuck No. 1 Share Posted September 26 OSU will pay $750,000 to play host to the Demon Deacons during the 2025 season, according to the contract obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive. In addition, the home team pays the visiting team $100,000 for the 2025 (Corvallis) and 2029 games (at Wake). In a nutshell, Oregon State is picking up Wake Forest's $750,000 buyout to get out of its contract to play at Mississippi in 2025. The Demon Deacons and Ole Miss Rebels had a home-and-home agreement to play in 2024 and 2025. Earlier in September, Wake Forest triggered the buyout provision in the contract for the 2025 game at Oxford, Mississippi. Wake is essentially using the $750K from OSU to pay the buyout. In sum, OSU lays out $850,000 to Wake, and Wake pays the Beavers $100K to visit in 2029. Golly, I wonder how much of that $100K will go to pay travel costs for the Beavers' contingent that travels to North Carolina in 5 years? On the other hand, I'm sure the Beavs feel that $750K net outlay will be more than made up with the ticket sales for their ACC vs Mt.West Plus matchup in Corvallis next season. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maybe that is why they are G-5?) 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
