Oregon State University and Washington State University will be joining the West Coast Conference as affiliate members for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 fiscal years, the WCC announced Dec. 22. Each school will compete in 10 sports with the two competing in 12 different sports combined.
The WCC currently has four affiliate members, but OSU and WSU will become the only schools competing in multiple sports, according to Front Office Sports. Members of Pepperdine Athletics said they are excited about the levels of competition and recognition being added to the conference.
