What’s next for the Mountain West after Pac-12 implodes: Expansion, contraction or both?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:00:47 GMT

Gloria Nevarez took charge of the Mountain West on New Year’s Day and spent approximately six months formulating a strategic plan to power the conference into the next era of college sports. She’s scheduled to present the blueprint to her membership later this month.“We went broad and deep,” Nevarez said recently. “We brought someone in to help us through the process. We got input from … over 10,000 survey responses.”Our guess: Her presentation has changed.The collapse of the Pac-12 late last week will have a deep impact on the Mountain West’s future on multiple fronts. The conference could get stronger or weaker but is unlikely to remain static in membership by the turn of the decade.If the remaining schools in the Pac-12 (Stanford, Cal, Washington State and Oregon State) stick together, they could  raid the Mountain West and grab the top football schools.If Stanford and Cal are able to join either the ACC or Big Ten — resolution could come this week — then WSU and OSU are ex...
