The Mountain West, after receiving signed commitments Thursday from its seven remaining member schools to stay in the conference, is already looking at adding more.

Texas State, which would be an all-sports addition, has emerged as a target for Mountain West expansion, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Thursday night. Another target that could soon come into focus for the conference is Northern Illinois, which would be as a football-only member.

Earlier Thursday, the conference announced Air Force, UNLV, New Mexico, Nevada, San José State, Wyoming and Hawai'i had signed a memorandum of understanding to stay in the league, with all of them agreeing to execute grant of media rights from 2026 to 2032.
