Air Force and UNLV are reportedly staying in the Mountain West Conference despite the Pac-12's efforts to land both schools.

According to Brett McMurphy of The Action Network, Air Force and UNLV are expected to officially announce their intention to remain with the MWC on Thursday.

In exchange for their loyalty, Air Force and UNLV will reportedly each receive a signing bonus worth between $25 million and $30 million, which will be drawn from the exit fees the Mountain West is expected to receive from Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State after they decided to leave the MWC for the Pac-12.
