The NCAA gave word to Oregon State and Washington State that the schools can compete as a two-team conference for the 2024 and ’25 seasons, according to Jon Wilner of The Mercury News.
NCAA bylaws dictate that conferences must have at least eight members to compete at the FBS level.
However, the bylaws also dictate that a conference shall continue to be considered an FBS conference for two years following “the date when it fails to satisfy the eight full FBS member requirement due to one or more of its member’s failure to comply with the FBS membership requirements.”
