Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State are each leaving the Mountain West in 2026 to join the Pac-12. But the Mountain West has managed to stay afloat by landing commitments its other members and adding UTEP, which has been a member of Conference USA.

Texas State's talks with the Mountain West Conference have ended, with the school informing the Sun Belt Conference that it won't be leaving after the Bobcats program received a verbal offer over the weekend.

Texas State is not leaving the Sun Belt Conference “at this time,” according to a statement issued by the school late Tuesday. The Bobcats had been contemplating a move to the Mountain West, according to multiple reports. The school acknowledged “preliminary discussions with an interested conference,” but elected not to make a move.
