OSU release – Beaver Nation, We know you are eager for an announcement on our path forward regarding conference affiliation. We continue to aggressively pursue all opportunities and options, with the interest of our student-athletes at the forefront of our minds. We have been and will continue to work tirelessly to chart the best path forward for Oregon State Athletics. While Beaver Nation awaits this news, our staff, student-athletes and coaches are focused on one thing – the upcoming 2023-24 seasons. With the eyes of the nation upon us, we have an opportunity to unite, fight and show everyone what Oregon State fans already know: Beaver Nation, like our student-athletes, always shows up and never backs down. Alums, donors and fans share a passion for a common cause that brings people together like nothing else and have a loyal, unwavering commitment to the Orange and Black. Proud alums and current students come from every corner of the state, the nation and around the world to support our programs. Twelve of our teams advanced to postseason competition last year but they are not content. They have worked hard all offseason and through the start of fall practices to make Beaver Nation proud. They need Beaver Nation to rise together, should-to-shoulder, supporting all our student-athletes and to not back down to any opponent. The traditions, both old and new, that have been the rallying cry for Oregon State will persist. Beaver Nation will erupt for our team entrances, roar with the chainsaw, clap along with the fight song and sing along with Miley. The cherished memories that generations of Beaver families and friends have made in Corvallis cannot be duplicated anywhere else. The time is now, Beaver Nation, to fill all our athletic venues, every game this season! Invite a friend who has never experienced a gameday! Fly your orange and black flags! Wear your Oregon State gear and show your pride for the Oregon State Beavers! Go Beavs!
