Mountain West commissioner Gloria Nevarez reportedly met with Oregon State yesterday to continue the dialogue about joining the league—and she’s already met with Washington State.

Her pitch to those programs has compelling elements for the Beavs and Cougs, but there are other considerations at play as well.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I examine the realignment landscape for Oregon State and Washington State as Stanford, Cal, and SMU are expected to make their way into the ACC.

Plus, some notable movement on betting lines heading into this week’s first full slate of football games in the Pac-12.

UCLA head coach Chip Kelly announced that Ethan Garbers will take the first snaps behind center this Saturday against Coastal Carolina, but that both Collin Schlee and Dante Moore will likely play.

That emphasizes why Spencer has been down on the Bruins heading into 2023 in a loaded Pac-12.
