Will Oregon State continue spending like a Power 5 school? Here are the numbers for the Beavers’ 2024-25 budget
The Beavers head into a new world next fall as they're without a conference following the Pac-12's demise
Quote: Oregon State is backing up its claim of wanting to fund at a Power conference level, as the school produced an athletics budget of $91.6 million for the 2024-25 academic year.
That is an 8.8% reduction from last year, when Oregon State had revenues and expenses of some $99.7 million each as a member of the Pac-12. The 2025 fiscal year budget goes into effect July 1.
While $91.6 million is among the bottom tier of budgets for schools competing in the Big 10, SEC, ACC and Big 12 conferences, it is substantially larger than what is spent at Group of 5 schools. In 2023, the highest G5 budget was Air Force at $76.5 million.
