NEW ERA: Oregon State Heading into New Pac-12 with New Leadership and HIGH Expectations

Oregon State is entering a completely new era. The Beavers have a new athletic director in Kevin Griffin, a new football coach in DeMarcus Shepard, a new men's basketball coach in Justin Joyner, and a new Pac-12 Conference set to launch on July 1st. But can all of those changes help Oregon State return to national relevance? On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Christian Rauh is joined by Ryan Harlan of BeaversEdge to break down everything happening in Corvallis. The conversation covers Kevin Griffin's vision for Oregon State athletics, the importance of NIL and the Valley Challenge, and why revenue sharing could determine whether the Beavers can compete at the top of the new Pac-12. The discussion also dives into JaMarcus Shephard's first season as head football coach, the quarterback battle featuring Malik Murphy, Braden Atkinson, and Brady Jones, and whether Oregon State can climb from a 2-10 season to bowl eligibility in 2026.
