The Mountain West Conference appears to have staved off a full-on exodus with a new agreement among its seven member schools.
In a joint statement issued Thursday, the six remaining full members of the Mountain West, along with football-only member Hawaii, announced their commitment to the conference amid continued rumored interest from the Pac-12.
The six schools — Air Force, Nevada, UNLV, New Mexico, San Jose State and Wyoming — said they were offering a “demonstration of shared commitment and unity” by signing a memorandum committing themselves to remaining in the league going forward.
