so in honor of Oregon State & Wazzu officially joining the WCC for the next two seasons after the current one, in what i hope is a short-lived foray into mid-major conference competition, here are imo each team's best transfer candidates each starts with those seemingly most prone to transferring, on down.

Oregon State: Beers, Gardiner, Marotte, Rees, von Oelhoffen, Hansford, Blacklock, etc.




Washington State: Leger-Walker, Covill, E. Villa, Tuhina, J. Villa, Wallack, Clarke, etc.

With all due respect GFY.

Beyonce Bea? According to this website

https://nameberry.com/babyname/beyonce

there were 353 newborns named Beyonce in 2001 which was the peak (in 2016 six and since then less than five [if any] a year). 2001 is likely the year Beyonce Bea was born as she graduated from high school in 2019.

yes, for people who say Wazzu or Oregon State “deserves this,” it’s incredibly mean-spirited. even saying they’ll be “better off” at the G5 level is being ignorant at best. what those people may not realize is how much these universities have come to economically rely on their conference’s media deals. it helps keep people within athletic departments employed; it’s not just that entire programs become in danger of being cut/discontinued, but jobs in & around the university. and i can’t even elaborate more as i am still not all that familiar with how far out the economic impact of being actively demoted from the Power-5 level extends for a given university.

not to mention: none of the student-athletes were involved in how this went down, but they’ll be the ones who feel the brunt of it on a regular basis.

I'm very sad the Pac-12 will be no longer. OSU and WSU deserve better....as did frankly the schools like Cal and Stanford that had to join an East Coast conference....it's too bad football couldn't have just departed wherever and left the remaining sports in the Pac-12. I know that's unrealistic given the money-factor, but still....the Pac-12 has become such a powerful conference in women's college basketball too....and now, poof. Gone. I wish the Beavers and the Cougars all the best and I expect we will continue to see them on our OC schedule, at least I hope.

I would guess those two schools end up in the Big12. That conference took some non-P5 schools like Houston, Cincinnati, University of Central Florida, BYU and maybe TCU. The Mountain West is another possibility but that would be a step down to a non-P5 conference.

It's a real shame that it was more profitable to have conferences that span the country. That's crazy. Imagine being Cal or Stanford and having to go play on the east coast when you used to play on the west coast. I hope the super conferences eventually blow up for being too big and too spread out.

well with Stanford & Cal joining a potentially very volatile ACC conference that may or may not still exist in a few years, it wouldn’t be impossible to see them back in the same purgatory Oregon State & Wazzu are in. what it would be though is ironic…

the Beavs & Cougs, amongst other entities, will be watching what happens to the ACC through the course of the next 13-14 months very closely. i think cleanly inviting all the Mountain West schools into the Pac as a de facto merger is something the two will only do if no other options get presented to them – and i’d actually be a little surprised if that became the case. Florida State doing what they’re doing could cause things to once again change dramatically at the drop of a hat.

I still wonder whether Notre Dame will try to bring Stanford along in the next round of dominoes, but realistically, Stanford will likely be on the outside looking in when the next round is started by Florida State or the SEC poaching whoever they want next.
