The University of Hawai'i announced Tuesday it's joining the Mountain West as a full member starting on July 1, 2026.
While aligned with the Mountain West for football, the Rainbow Warriors were in the Big West for other sports.
"This is a momentous day for University of Hawai'i Athletics," athletic director Craig Angelos said. "We've had the privilege of being a football-only member in the Mountain West for the last dozen years. Now the majority of our sports will enjoy the same experience of competing in this exceptional conference.
