The Mountain West and Pac-12 conferences did not come to an agreement before Sunday's deadline to extend their football scheduling beyond the 2024 season, sources confirmed to ESPN.
While it's theoretically possible to circle back, the most likely scenario will be for Oregon State and Washington State to build fully independent schedules for the 2025 season.
"There's too big a gap [between the parties]," a source told ESPN.
The lack of an agreement stems mostly from the Pac-12's priority to be flexible for more sea changes in college athletics over the next year. Financial factors also played a role, sources told ESPN.
