Oregon State has not been courted by the Big 12 the way that Arizona and Colorado have been over the past few months.
That’s reflective of both their market size and their brand as an athletics program.
The size and scope of their brand in the college basketball landscape can change for the better in the coming years.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Carter Bahns of BeaverBlitz.com and the 247Sports national writing desk.
They discuss what the biggest question is for Oregon State this season as they seek to contend for a Pac-12 Championship.
Under Jonathan Smith, the Beavers have resembled two-time defending Pac-12 Champion Utah in terms of their offensive style.
Carter and I discuss whether or not that might need to change one day if the Beavers are going to continue to elevate their program.
