This week on State of the Beavs, the athletic directors of the new Pac-12 met in California this week to discuss the league's next moves. Where should the league's priorities be with the rebuild ongoing and the 2024-2025 year inching to the finish line?

Plus, Oregon State head baseball coach Mitch Canham had his first media availability of the season as the Beavers reach the top ten in every major preseason poll so far.

The past week or so has also been something of a roller coaster for both Oregon State basketball programs. What do Wayne Tinkle and Scott Rueck need to do to steady their respective ships in the coming weeks? Your host Matt Bagley dives into all of it and more. Go Beavs.
