UNLV and Air Force have opted to remain in the Mountain West Conference, according to multiple reports late Wednesday. UNLV rejected overtures from the rebuilding Pac-12 Conference. Air Force turned down heavy interest from the American Athletic Conference. The decisions by the Runnin' Rebels and the Falcons to stay put follows the previously announced departures of five Mountain West members to the Pac-12: Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State. Air Force and UNLV made the choice to stay put after receiving "significant financial incentives," Yahoo Sports reported. A specific dollar figure was not provided.
