Mountain West has no plans to expand beyond current membership

The Mountain West board of directors will not seek new members for the conference.

False alarm, and nothing to see here.

The Mountain West held its annual mid-year Board of Director meetings in Phoenix, Arizona, to discuss league matters with the athletic directors and presidents. One item of keen interest was the report from Dennis Dodd that said the conference was looking at expanding into Texas with the additions of UTEP and Rice.

After the two-day meetings, the conference is fine with its current set up that has 12 football playing members and 11 on the basketball side.
