The Mountain West says it has its 7 members committed for 2026 and beyond.
Conference commissioner Gloria Nevarez released a statement to address “a good deal of speculation” about the conference’s future amid the realignment landscape.
A good deal of speculation has recently been offered by various media outlets regarding the current and future status of the Mountain West, and other collegiate athletic conferences. While I cannot and will not comment on other leagues, I can share some facts about the Mountain West. First, the seven member institutions who are the foundation of the Mountain West have fully committed to the future of the Conference. Each member has cemented that commitment by executing a Grant of Rights Agreement, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2032.
The speculation surrounds the uncertain FBS futures of the Pac-12 and the Mountain West.
After the Pac-12 saw 10 members in 2024, it was given a 2-year grace period to continue as an FBS conference despite not having 8 members, the minimum for FBS status. In September, the Pac-12 made 3 expansion moves. It added 5 members of the Mountain West to get to 7 football members. Gonzaga also joined the conference, but it does not have a football program.
While there have been plenty of rumors about the Pac-12 poaching another Mountain West member, the Mountain West appears confident that all 7 members committed for 2026 are on board into 2032. The college sports world will be watching closely to see what moves are next as the conferences look to reach FBS status.
