Summary
Washington State University just inked a historic five-year, $8 million deal with the Colville Tribes — the biggest athletic sponsorship in school history. Every Cougar athlete will now sport a Colville Tribes patch, a first in college sports, while also funding youth programs and basketball development. This deepens decades-old cultural ties. Meanwhile, the state’s Ecology Department is pushing to deliver clean water to PFAS-affected West Plains residents, with a new deadline set for August 17th to finalize a plan for filters, home connections, and long-term maintenance.
