Oregon State University has parted ways with men's basketball coach Wayne Tinkle after 12 seasons, ahead of the program's return to the Pac-12 conference. The decision was announced on February 26, 2026, with Tinkle having the option to complete the current 2025-26 season. Athletic director Scott Barnes cited the need for a transition to ensure sustained success in the evolving collegiate landscape.
The Washington State University Board of Regents has voted to allocate $20 million from university operating funds to support WSU Athletics in the 2027 fiscal year. This one-time investment aims to address a projected budget shortfall and stabilize operations. The decision marks a shift from earlier statements indicating no such support was possible due to budget constraints.
