After the demise of the Pac-12, it was no secret that the conference wanted to make a return to college sports. The last two members, Oregon State & Washington State headed to the West Coast Conference where the Pac-12 had stated it wanted to retain the two schools and then build around them. That work has begun as Colorado State, San Diego State, Fresno State, and Boise State all announced that they’d be departing from the Mountain West Conference to join the Pac-12 starting with the 2026 season.
That leaves the Mountain West with just seven schools, so what does that mean for the conference that’s been on a meteoric rise over the last decade?
What do you think the Mountain West will do? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
