Wake Forest Cancels Ole Miss Game, Schedules Series with Oregon State

The decision, driven by financial considerations, has sparked criticism from Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin.

Wake Forest has canceled its 2025 football game against Ole Miss, opting instead for a home-and-home series with Oregon State.
The new series will see Wake Forest travel to Corvallis in 2025 and host Oregon State in Winston-Salem in 2029.
Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin criticized the cancellation, calling it a violation of an 'unwritten rule' in college football scheduling.
Wake Forest Athletic Director John Currie cited financial pressures and the need to benefit student-athletes as reasons for the change.
Wake Forest will pay a buyout to Ole Miss, though the exact amount is disputed, with sources suggesting it is less than the reported $1 million.
